Kicker: Unicycling across the country

MYRNA BROWN, HOST: A teenager is nearing the end of his journey from Maine to Florida—cycling all the way!

Avery Seuter decided to pedal his way down the Eastern Seaboard to raise money for the East Coast Greenway project. That’s an effort to create a network of cycling trails up and down the east coast.

He told TV station WNCN that he hopes to make cycling safer.

SEUTER: Unless you have accessible paths, you know, it can be scary.

Seuter will have pedaled more than 1,700 miles by journey’s end.

And get this, he’s doing it on a unicycle!

REICHARD: You know that’s hard, and I know because I can ride a unicycle! But I’m not going to try that!

BROWN: It’s The World and Everything in It.
