LOCKING his bike before class. Chris Parker ensures his way to get around will still be there. Just peddling around Have you been walking down the sidewalk not paying attention to anything around you when suddenly you do a double-take of a guy on a single wheel? It's one thing to avoid all the bikes on this campus, but unicycles? ODU has two unicycle riders: Dan Harvey and Jeff Rodgers. Harvey, who has lived in Virginia Beach most of his life, has been riding two and a half years. Mastering the sport in just a couple of hours, he has been riding ever since. He thinks his unicycle is a great means of transportation and is very practical. “Nobody will probably believe this, but it's a lot safer than a bike. If you know your going to wreck on a bike, there's a good chance you're going down. On a unicycle, you can jump off without killing yourself on any handle bars. he said. Rodgers is using his talent for something other than practical purposes. He has done fundraisers since he started at the age of eleven. Some include toxic waste, cancer, and his favorite cause, the S.RC.A. “Unicycling is much more than tricks and fun, and even more than a practical way of getting around. by Chris Allan STUDENT LIFE 13
