I keep thinking about what happens when he hits a pot hole!!

Or a curb!!!

Hope he's always wearing a full-face helmet, or has removable teeth.

Can't get my head around one wheel. With two I break bones. With only one, I'm sure Beau's concern would be valid. I'll stick with 4 until I'm stuck with one of those two wheelers with tennis balls on the back. Pat

I guess none of you have kids or grand kids at the age where you went and saw the movie: The Lorax, the kid in the (animated) movie had a one wheeled scooter, I thought it was as cool as anything, an impossible thing dreamt up by minds that make Dr Sues into movies.

Cool to see in an animated movie but not realisticly possible.

Now someone has built one!

Don't know how it could work, Seems to be easer to ride than a unicycle, but there it is, working!

Cool factor of 11, even if you couldn't take it on the highway.

There are some episodes in "Portlandia" where that one-wheeled bike is ridden (not very well).

Of course there that "South Park" episode with Mr Hand's eco-motor-unicycle.

Now here's a great use for a unicycle: [youtube]http://youtu.be/a3iohXBQh8g[/youtube]

(How come this doesn't work!!?)

Here's the South Park "monocycle":

I found the Dr Seuss scooter
