Goodnight Raleigh - a look at the art, architecture, history, and people of the city at night

Tyler the Unicyclist

Tyler owned a unicycle for 5 days when I met him in Boylan Heights a little over a month ago. In that short period of time he learned to launch it, meaning he can get going while it’s on the ground while not using his hands. He can pedal backward and forward, as well as sit in the same spot for a few moments.
