    Adventurous local riders take the unicycle into new territory


    The unicycle is no longer just for circus performers and jugglers.

Although area resident Nathan Hoover occasionally rides his unicycle to school with the kids and then continues on his seven-mile commute to work as a software engineer, his true passion is mountain unicycling--or MUni, as it is called by aficionados of the emerging sport. MUni riders travel the same steep, treacherous trails as mountain bikers, except on one knobby tire instead of two, usually without brakes and never with gears.   More
