With the increase in gas prices, I have seen a lot more people taking what I call "alternative transportation". Mostly, it's been a huge increase in the number of people I see riding bicycles and those Vespa-type scooters.

Yesterday morning was a first, though. I saw a guy riding down Summer St. near the convention center on a *unicycle*. It didn't appear to be any kind of promotional thing - he had a backpack and seemed intent on getting where he was going. I only wish my phone had been on so I could have snapped a picture.

Whatever works, I guess. Thanks for helping to save the planet, unicycle guy!
