bicyclist or unicyclist
Soon after becoming hooked on unicycling I began seeing a lot of other unicyclists. Well, not really.
It just seems like whenever I'm driving and approaching a cyclist head-on, I could swear that he/she is unicycling. Obviously it's just because the shape and movement looks the same from afar. Of course I'm disappointed once I see handlebars and a second wheel. I guess my brain just wants to see unicycles! Does anyone else experience this? |

Comfort bikes with a very upright sitting position are popular. I've seen some with the handlebars set very high so that the rider is sitting almost perfectly upright, just like sitting on a unicycle. So yeah, I've been seeing more of those kinds of bikes out and around. From straight on and far away they do look like they're riding a unicycle.

Haha, that happens to me all the time! It's so disappointing to get closer/a different viewing angle and realize what it actually is.
