Introduction
My name is Robert Hickman. I'm an artist and college professor from Brooklyn, NY. I make sculptural objects, installations, and public art. My work can be seen on my website at hickmanindustries.com . I've done many transportation related public art projects, the best known being the skylight for the 72nd street subway station on the Upper West Side in Manhattan. I'm recognized for my unicycling and project to cross every single bridge in New York City on a unicycle , currently at 471 bridges crossed. We were the first to traverse the Florida Keys on unicycles . I have crossed 178 bridges in St. Petersburg, Russia on one wheel. I rode my bike around Sardinia in 2007. My girlfriend and I cycled the Erie Canal from Buffalo to Albany, New York in 2015. I commute everywhere in NYC by bike, often with my dog Blanka . I've always said that I would bicycle across North America after my son graduated from high school. Caleb begins Berklee College of Music in May 2018, and
