Unicycle security

June 14th, 2006 · Posted by Skuds in Life · No Comments · Life

unicycleWe are so used to seeing bicycles chained to lamp posts and railings everywhere that we almost do not notice them any more.

But when you see a 3-metre unicycle chained to a lamp post you have to stop and look. I can’t see it catching on as a form of commuter transport though.

There are some advantages, like superb visibility (see right over the tops of 4×4s, bendy buses, etc.), minimal obstruction when chained up, small turning circle, no need for mud guards, both hands free for hand signals/juggling but where are you going to put the briefcase and spare shoes?
