DescriptionTom Moffatt tosses a newspaper toward the camera as he rides a unicycle along a paved street in Albuquerque, New Mexico. He is wearing a carrier bag for the Albuquerque Journal and the Albuquerque Tribune. A small child watches Moffatt and smiles in the background between two houses. A caption on the back of the photograph mentions Moffatt was inspired to deliver his papers on a unicycle from a circus act he saw and believes he is able to deliver newspapers faster because the unicycle is more maneuverable than a traditional bicycle.On View
