the idea: take your kids out for a family unicycle ride

Boston can be a strange place.

About a week ago I was walking to Davis Square when I saw a rather strange thing pass me by.  At first I didn’t realize what I was seeing, which is why this picture is taken from behind.

I turned around and indeed it was what I thought: a father and this two sons unicycling together down the sidewalk on Broadway.

Not only did this dad teach his kids how to unicycle, they got good enough that all three could go out into the world together, riding along the sidewalk of a fairly busy road.

Now this may not be an idea that I would have had, but I have to admit that it’s pretty unique.
