I-unicycle yombane itsala ukujonga

I-unicycle yombane itsala umdla

Xa abantwana abancinci bembona ehamba ngapha nangapha, bacinga ukuba uyiRanger Ranger.

Abantu abadala abazi ukuba bacinge ntoni. Bayamdinga ukuba ayeke kwaye azicacise, nangona kunjalo ethanda ukugcina ukutshintsha-kwivili lakhe elinye elinenjini.

Dibana noTony Roberson, umntu ongumntu, oneminyaka engama-68 ubudala waseTwinsburg okhwele ibhayisekile yombane.

UTony Roberson, 68, waseTwinsburg ubonisa i-unicycle yakhe yombane e-Akron ngoLwesine we-3 kaSeptemba 2020. Ingxelo yebhayisikile enkulu yombane kubathandi beebhayisekile ezindleleni.

Ngaba uyayikhubekisa indawo? Kuzo zonke iindawo. Iidolophu zaseNtshona Cleveland ezinje ngeRocky River. IJap iyaphuma njengeChardon. ECreston eWayne County. Kuhola wendlela kusetyenziswa iipaki. Kwi-Ohio kunye ne-Erie Canal Towpath.

Kuhambo olunye, wakhwela yonke eyona ndlela ibalaseleyo ukusuka kwindawo awayehlala kuyo eTwinsburg esiya edolophini yaseCleveland kwakhona.

Fumana Roberson intsingiselo yesinti. Nangona kunjalo xa elingana, kuyadinisa ukwazisa ukuba ubonakala enjani, njengesiphumo sokufumanisa indlela edinayo yokuphatha isigcina-ntloko kunye nokuhombisa kunengqondo.

Xa wayeqala ukuqhuba iinyanga ezili-10 ezidlulileyo kwibhayisikile engabizi kakhulu, encinci, wayephethe isigcina-ntloko sebhayisekile xa esihla edinisa. Akaphulanga naliphi na ithambo, nangona kunjalo wenza isityalo sobuso esasifuna imithungo ngaphezulu kwamehlo akhe.

Mva nje unxibe isigcina-ntloko esigcweleyo sobuso, kunye neephedi zengqiniba, iiphedi zamadolo, iiphedi zenyonga kunye neephedi zamagxa.

"Ukuba uqhuba, uya kuwa," utshilo. “Nokuba ukuwa kugqibelele. Livili elinye nje. Awunabo ubutofotofo bokwenza impazamo. ”

URoberson wayengazi kwanto malunga nee-unicycle zombane de wenzeka kuzo zonke ngelixa wayejonge kumnxeba we-trike ukuze ongeze kwi-assortment yakhe. Xa wabona ividiyo yolutsha eqhuba ii-unicycle, wathi kuye, “Yhu, yenye into! Ndiyacinga ukuba ndingazama oku. ”

Uzimisele ukuthenga enye ekunciphiseni ukugqitywa kwexabiso lemali, i-600 yeedola, ukujonga ukuba uya kuzuza kusini na kwezemidlalo. Ziyahluka ngokwexabiso ukusuka kwi-500 ukuya kwi-3,000 yeedola.

Ngokukhawuleza xa wayetsaliwe, wakhupha i-2,150 yeedola kwi-Kingsong 18XL.

Uhamba kancinci, uye phambili uya kuba nakho ukuya ngendleko enye. Kwi-15 ukuya kwi-70 mph mph, uRoberson unokwenza inkomo malunga neekhilomitha ezingama-XNUMX.

Isantya esiphakamileyo sebhayisikile yakhe ngama-31. Ezinye iibhayisekile zinokuya kuma-45. Uyakwazi ukucinga malunga ne-45 mph kwivili elinye elincinci?

Uyalonwabela ivili lakhe kakhulu, ukuba ebesebenza nangona kunjalo, uthi, ebeyisebenzisela ukuhamba kwakhe yonke imihla.

Oko yayingekokukhetha kuyo yonke iminyaka emithathu kaRoberson eAtlantic Metal eTwinsburg. Usebenze i-crane, etshintsha iikhoyili ezinkulu ezijikelezayo kwaye azilayishe kwizithuthi.

Wazalelwa eArkansas nangona kunjalo njengomntwana omncinci utata wakhe kunye nomama wakhe bafudukela kwindawo eseMount Nice eCleveland, ngasentshona kweShaker Heights, kwaye ekugqibeleni waphumelela kwiKholeji yaseJFK Excessive.

URoberson kunye neqabane lakhe basondela kumtshato wabo wamashumi amane eminyaka. Banabantwana ababini abancinci (omnye kubo bonke abanesiphiwo sebhayisekile yokuqala kaTony) kunye nabazukulwana abathandathu.

Kuze kube yintsholongwane, ukuthanda kukaRoberson kwakumenza ahlangane ngokukhawuleza. Wazibandakanya ne-gaggle ebizwa ngokuba yi-Cleveland E-Ryders, abahamba kwiipaki… ezixekweni… nakweyiphi na indawo enohola wendlela.

Uthi: "Ndikhuthazekile ukuba andinakukhubeka naba bafana," utshilo. “Besikunye nje kangangeeveki ezimbalwa xa ubhubhane uhlasele….

“Yinto egqithisileyo yomcimbi oyingozi. Nangona kunjalo, ngalo lonke ixesha kugqityiwe, siza kudibana kwakhona. ”

Inqaku elinye le-COVID-19 alichaphazelekanga: amandla akhe okuphucula iinwele zobuso. Udlala iindevu ezikumgangatho wehlabathi.

Xa uceliwe ukuba ukhule ixesha elingakanani, uyahleka. Ngalo lonke ixesha bendineentlobo ezithile zeenwele ebusweni bam. Emva kweminyaka emibini edlulileyo, ndathi, 'Kuya kwenzeka ntoni ukuba ndiyayekelela?' ”

Ngoku uyazi.

Jonga, lutsha-Ranger yamandla eneendevu!
