Working at zoo station this week and fell into conversation with a retired man who is working at introducing unicycle hockey to the local primary school.\u00a0 Yes it\u2019s true! People do play hockey on unicycles!!! \u00a0www:\/\/hockey.unicycling.org.au\/<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve recently read A Time of Gifts -a travel book by Patrick Leigh Fermor.\u00a0 He\u2019d played bicycle polo in Hungary before the war. I\u2019d thought it was just lost frivolity of a decadent upper-crust but my retired man says there is still a bicycle polo club in Melbourne, although these days you provide you own bike and they have trouble finding place to play.<\/p>\n
After last week\u2019s grim post, it\u2019s nice to be reminded that the world can also be a delightful place.<\/p>\n
