British man Ed Pratt became the first person to tour the world on a unicycle. At the age of 19, he left Somerset in March 2015. He loaded his unicycle Nimbus Oracle with tent, sleeping bag, portable stove, kit in panniers. For three years and 135 days, a desperate cyclist overcame a rather risky path stretching over 33,000 kilometers. The route passed via Europe, Turkey, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, China, South-East Asia, Singapore, Australia, USA. However, Pratt was aimed not only at carrying out extreme round-the-world travel. Sometimes had to drive on off-the-road and on the mountain icy roads. Resident of the Somerset town of Curry Rivel raised funds in the amount of £300,000 for the charity organization School in a Bag, engaged in equipping schools for poor children. This money will benefit 15 thousand children around the world.
