Submitted by Brent Hugh on Fri, 06/04/2004 - 3:53pm
Troy Calkins of Olathe, KS, plans to unicycle the entire Bike Across Kansas route. Bike Across Kansas starts today on the western border of the state. According to the KCStar story:
Using only one wheel and good old determination, 33-year-old Troy Calkins of Olathe plans to roll across Kansas in eight days.
If he succeeds, he will become the first person to unicycle across the state, he said.
“They think I'm nuts. They really think I'm crazy,” Calkins said. “A lot think it's not possible. But it's very doable.”
