PALM COAST, Fla. – A 19-year-old is traveling the entire Eastern Seaboard, all on a unicycle.
Since September, Avery Seuter has used his unicycle to travel more than 1,800 miles and counting.
His trip began in Maine and he was spotted on Tuesday riding in Palm Coast.
“It only goes about 8 or 9 miles an hour,” he said.
Seuter said this trek is all to raise money for the East Coast Greenway, a cycling route that organizers hope will eventually connect 15 states.
His goal is to reach Key West by next month.

That's phenomenal. I've been involved with the East Coast Greenway for years. Sections of the trail exist now, but there are still enormous gaps where a route exists, but you'll be riding with traffic on existing roads rather than riding on a dedicated bike trail. For instance, if you're in the DC area, the MVT in Virginia, the ART in DC, and the B&A Trail in Maryland are all part of the East Coast Greenway, and all of them are car-free on dedicated bike trails.
The long term goal is to have the entire trail from Florida to Maine separate from cars. They have a long way to go, and progress is slow with only a few miles added every year, but the end result will be phenomenal.
