GOLDEN, Colo. — While cyclists huff and puff up Lookout Mountain, it's hard for them not to smile when they catch sight of Dustin King. Not only does he shout out words of encouragement, but he is also gaining elevation just on his unicycle, Harmony. 'This unicycle’s name is Harmony, and it's just because it takes so much harmony to be able to ride it. You have to have perfect balance,' King said. 'You have to have perfect flow, perfect rhythm.
Over the months, he has cycled 541 miles, completed in more than 38 rides and clocked just over 68 hours on the unicycle. 'Feels good to finally discover myself, discover how my training works because I've always worked on other people's schedules and things, and it's not what's always best for you,' King explained.
