"Unicycle Shop happened in Joshua Tree, California on May 12-13, 2007 as part of the High Desert Test Sites. Lisa Anne Auerbach lives in Los Angeles, a city known for its heartfelt embrace of circus culture. She makes photographs, sweaters, and small publications. She believes that humor can make the bloodiest wounds and that politics begin at home. Although she has an impressive collection of tomato-red unicycles, she prefers riding a bike, and her exploits are well documented within the pages of Saddlesore"--Publisher's statement

Résumé:

"Unicycle Shop was open on May 12 and 13, 2007, as part of High Desert Test Sites in Joshua Tree, California. During two days of business, we rented unicycles to over 50 people for the price of ten cents per hour. Most of those renting unicycles were first-time unicyclists and they approached the challenge of unicycling with enthusiasm and vigor. Crashes into the soft sand were not uncommon. Some visitors became quite obsessed with unicycling. The sun beat down at 90 degrees, and unicyclists were covered in sweat and sand. Though Unicycle Shop was fully equipped with First Aid equipment and a certified First Aid technician, the worst accident was a splinter unrelated to unicycling."-- provided by distributor.
