Tom Schneider has a passion for riding unicycles, but not in the way you might imagine. Rather, he uses his skills to navigate the thrilling adventure of mountain unicycling, and participates in long distance road rides for charity. He shares his story of how that passion came to be, how he hopes to encourage others to join in, and what is possible on just one wheel.
His hard work has earned him sponsorships through unicycle.com and Nimbus Unicycles (https://nimbusunicycles.com/).
Wanna learn to unicycle? Circus, mountain, whatever? Tom loves to share the experience with anyone wanting to learn more. He can be reached by email at tschneider4326@gmail.com, or by phone at (614) 507-7268.
He plans one day on trying out unipacking, which is long distance unicycling and backpacking, inspired by Ed Pratt, who's adventures you can watch here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuNy42Y5egf07cSiHbF23wg
