Well, he's on a unicycle for one thing, which I'm guessing has some different issues than say a regular diamond frame. And we have no idea where he's riding it, could be singletrack in the forest.
I've gotten on the road by 4am a few times. It's awesome. There's pretty much no one out there for the first 90 minutes-- just me, the owls and the coyotes. I've ridden 4+ hours before seeing another person on a bicycle.
