U IS FOR UNICYCLE

Remember the parental cries of outraged consternation when Bad Uncle Eddie brought over that unicycle for your birthday?





















I know you remember all the fun you and your friends had riding on them.






















I know you will never forget the poignancy of that bottomless pothole. But hey, the choir needed a male soprano anyway.


















Today, there are motorized unicycles,















unicycles built for two,















and there are just frickin' wierd unicycles!























There are stunts that should never be attempted on a unicycle, not even once.





















And stunts which, for a number of reasons, can never be attempted twice!













So what if you're 68 and gouty! Age is just a number after all! Go buy that unicycle you always wanted today!

    Very, very cool post, Mac! I've never seen some of these creations. I want a unicycle with a second wheel with handlebars to steer, a motor and a chain!

    I was never allowed to ride one of these. I am an accident waiting to happen. This is a good post. Great job.

    Yes. You're right. It's the little thing that's been missing in my life. That and an ER bill. Thank you for the suggestion.

    Tried to ride one once. Once. I definitely fall into the "requires two or more wheels" category.
