One Wheel - Many Spokes: USA by Unicycle

By Lars Clausen

"In the words of former Senator Kerrey, Clausen 'has done the work of a good citizen.' Clausen not only did that in spades, by raising millions of dollars for a struggling tribe of Eskimos, but he also managed to experience the kind of adventure most people only dream of having." -- Publishers Weekly

Book Description

This unlikely story of a man riding a unicycle across America reveals an adventurous soul in search of his country and himself. Lars Clausen tells of his record-breaking 50-state unicycle trip from the West Coast to the Statue of Liberty and back again. He describes his spoke-by-spoke trek through a Mojave dust storm, past breathtaking, snow-capped Montana mountains, and close to a raging hurricane. Color photographs and watercolor illustrations of each state enhance his revelations about encounters with bikers, cops, and curious folk. This inspiring journey into the heart of America celebrates the hospitality of everyday people, reveals the splendor of out-of-the-way places, and explores Native American lands from coast to coast.
