This section contains one or two of our most recent reviews:

"A new magazine for unicyclists celebrated its launch issue recently, and mighty impressive it is too. It’s a fascinating glimpse into a world of cycling which rarely intersects with Velo Vision, but which shares much of the enthusiast ethos and a certain non-conformist attitude. As the first (as far as I know) commercial unicycle magazine it’ll be a welcome focus for the growing body of unicyclists worldwide.

Unicycling is shown as a diverse sport, from off-road riding to road touring to ‘stunt’ riding and jumping. There’s clearly a vigorous event circuit, and the launch issue features several reports and a comprehensive listing. Then there’s interviews with prominent unicyclists and manufacturers, a tour report from Taiwan, a report on French unicycling, and unicycle and accessory reviews. Plus a photo gallery, DIY technology (adding a brake to your unicycle!) and more.

With 68 A4 pages in full colour, Uni is very well presented and I was particularly impressed with the standard of the photography. Congratulations to editor and publisher Mike Penton and his team for a very professional launch issue. The next issue is out in October 2006, and is to include reports on the Schlumpf unicycle hub gear, the descent of a Peruvian volcano and more. For any reader with even a passing interest in unicycling I can strongly recommend giving Uni a try."
