Near miss with electric unicycle on a tight bend on shared path

10 Nov, 2021 - 4 years ago - on Mitchell Freeway

I was riding south on the Principal Shared Path and entered a sharp right hand curve. Oncoming traffic obsured by vegetation. A rider on an electric unicycle suddenly appeared travelling in the opposite direction. We were both moving fast and vearing towards the centre line of the path. I just managed to pull away and avoid a collision.

I don't think that these unicycles are legal in Western Australia.
