 The Florida Keys Overseas Heritage Trail Unicycle Tour is collaboration between a clown and a sculptor who have passion for transportation routes and unicycles. Together they will ride 107 miles over 42 bridges in 5 days on unicycles to celebrate the creation of the Oversees Heritage Trail and the centennial of the Oversees Railway.
The Overseas Highway is a 127.5-mile highway carrying U.S. Route 1 through the Florida Keys. Large parts of it were built on the former right-of-way of the Overseas Railroad.
