    Ed Unicycles Australia [Ep.6] Ever wondered what it looks like when you strap a camera to the inside of your unicycle wheel?

    Because it wasn't clear in the video, I just wanted to add that Helen, after driving me to her home in Mount Gambier, drove me back the next day to where she'd picked me up. (Thank you Helen). My personal rule for this unicycle tour is to ride/walk every inch while I'm on land. I'm happy to say that 15,000miles in, I still sticking to it.
    My name's Ed and for the last 2 years I've been riding my unicycle around the globe. Over 13,000miles already ridden, 'Ed Unicycles Australia' is the video series documenting my 3400mile self-supported unicycle tour across Oz.

      It certainly wasn't planned. You COULD fake this shot with a bit of editing trickery, but i think it's real and I don't think he'll be spending time, waiting around for things to happen, with which he can create "artificial" shots. I think he wants everything to be authentic. Sometimes you are just very lucky with your shots. Often enough, he was unlucky, with the camera falling over. =)

    Hey Ed! Tip for getting of leeches next time. Never pull out a leech, the teeth's are sinked in your skin and it hurts allot! You can encourage the leech to detach on its own by heating it a flame or sigarette or salt just as effectively.

    • @coast2coast00
      @coast2coast00 Před 6 lety +23

      A leech will do you no harm, better to sacrifice 10 drops of blood and let it be on it's way, if you pull at it or burn it, it might inject whatever it has in it's stomach into your body which would make things worse. They also apply anti-coagulant when they bite to make the blood flow, and coagulant when they release to stop the bleeding (they are parasites, so they want the host animals to survive).
      They are designed by nature to be painless, so animals won't notice when they get bit so they can stay for a meal and leave.

    • @galvo666
      @galvo666 Před 4 lety +8

      Just to add to that, you can safely slide a knife edge under the bite area which will release the suction seal, if you try to yank of a leech it can leave its guts behind and very much attached

    FYI I was looking at your route through the States, you may have to change parts. Bicycles are not allowed on Interstate Highways and I saw where you planned part on I-70. You may consider riding Route 66 from Los Angeles to Chicago, Illinois. Bicycles are allowed on it the whole way from what I have learned from other cyclists. Even the section where it joins Interstate 40. Best of luck, God Bless

    Thanks Ed. Pommie in Australia says "You might hear some whining". There you go. Funny you work in miles not kilometres though. Confusing.
