One man and his wheel

Listen to the item

Alan Chambers has a minimalist take on green transport. He's moved the maxim, 'Four wheels bad, two wheels good,' on a stage further - by riding a unicycle.

This isn't for flighty entertainment - though Alan obviously enjoys it - this is in earnest. He's out every day, nimbly wheeling his way round Birmingham 's traffic.

Alan talks to David about his chosen form of transport, and even admits that his unicycle satisfies that (small) part of him that is a bit of an attention seeker.
