Good point, I'll admit Although not really wanting to give in on the points I mentioned, you do have a good argument. But I'm still going to recommend Unicycling just because I can

hhmmmm ... I'd have to disagree slightly here. While the pedaling motion is the same. ie. round and round, there are some marked differences. Firstly the angle at which you sit and pedal is completely different. With the Uni you sit directly over the wheel in a more upright position and forces are directed more downwards, whereas on a bicycle you're sitting more hunched with forces directed slightly forward, ie. centre of the cranks are offset forwards from the saddle. Secondly, because it's a fixie all your control is in the pedals therefore more control of quad and hamstring muscles required at the same time in order to maintain balance. Which then leads to the third thing, balance. The constant corrections to balance will strengthen core muscles which in turn will strengthen lower back muscles. Riding a Uni is a different workout. For me riding a bicycle feels so foreign, and almost wrong mostly due to the pedaling angle and can feel a difference in how muscles are used.

I'd say (with much bias) that Unicycling would be an excellent cross-training option. Work on your core strength, sense of balance, and will give you a killer workout more so than any other cycling as there is no rest.

As already mentioned some cyclists are their own worst enemies, and unfortunately all cyclists are then labeled. As a motorist I am dreading the build up to the Argus because of the sheer number of inexperienced cyclists who take their bicycles out of storage around this time of the year to suddenly start training for the Argus.

I grow more impressed with Geoff as each day goes by. I know the area well where he is riding at the moment and the hills are a killer. The 36" uni is a beast of note. Have only ridden one for about 2 km's on the jeep tracks in Tokai and it felt like I was riding on tar it was that smooth.

He does seem like a very driven kind of guy. He pledged to do the trip on a unicycle before he could even ride one. Learnt on a 24", which looked exactly like my no-name chinese brand that I learnt to ride on. Then 2 months or so later embarked on his trip on a 36" Uni with only a couple of weeks of riding a 36". Impressive indeed, even from a Unicyclist's point of view.

Still can't believe that Geoff is going for it after only learning to ride a unicycle a couple of months ago. I wish him well on his trip, which will be an adventure of note.
