One morning last week I'd almost reached ClientCo when I spotted a bloke cycling to work. He was kitted out in all the gear - high-vis vest, cycling shoes, laptop rucksack, and one of those lightweight, expensive-looking helmets.

Not unusual, you'd think, except for the fact that he was riding a friggin' unicycle.

I got off my bus, strolled into the office, and thought little more of it.

This morning I walked out my front door a little after 0800 to make my way to the station, and there he was again, a block away from my house, clearly wobbling his way to work again.

So the first time I spotted him he was near my office, the second time near my house. The two are five-and-a-half miles apart.

It would appear he travels at least this distance, and maybe more, every day.

On a unicycle.

Used to see a commuter do that once he got of the train in London

Homo erectus.

I'm wondering what an emergency stop would look like.
