Asymmetry vanquished! For an entire YEAR my unicycle had been mysteriously listing to the left; that beautiful rhythmic pumping nirvana that usually sets in after about half an hour was constantly interrupted by a nagging twist. I checked alignment, I checked dimensions, but my unicycle was entirely even! Totally symmetric. Perfectly balanced. I began to suspect it was me. That one leg was stronger than the other, perhaps that I was somehow imagining everything. My mistake was that I never checked the unicycle in motion. It turns out that one of my pedals was slightly easier to turn than the other, and that this was enough to throw everything out of whack. The crank arms and pedal axes were well aligned, but bearing A was ever so slightly harder to turn than bearing B. I put in new pedals, and all my problems went away.

In celebration I cycled all the way to Hunter's art exhibit in Oakland. Thankfully I wasn't shot.
