You'll recall that Kyle Petersen is suing the city because he keeps getting tickets for riding his unicycle on the sidewalk. This is not a violation, because city ordinance only prohibits adults from riding two or three-wheel devices on sidewalks. Cops ticket him anyway, but instead of just pedaling on the street with the other wheeled conveyances, Petersen is fighting for his right to cycle. Last night, his crusade got some vital exposure on The Colbert Report, in a segment exposing how unicycles, which "used to be a shameful pastime for circus animals" are "seeping into the mainstream."
Yup, next thing you know, freaks like Kyle will want their own special unicycle lanes. His $3 million lawsuit is still working its way through the courts, and should you want to join his revolution, you can buy one of his "Legalize It" unicycle shirts here.
