Ken Looi is an adventure unicyclist and GP based in Wellington.

This weekend, at his old primary school, he will attempt to break the Guinness World Record for 24-hour unicycle distance, aiming to rack up 500 kilometres, with his attempt raising money for the Malaghan Institute.

Emile Donovan speaks to him about his preparation ahead of the big day.
