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.
Its funny because this happens to me all the time… and yet i know all the people that actually unicycle in my town
Happens to me too… So the few times I have seen another unicyclist it’s come as even more of a shock 
The other day I saw someone walk out of a lecture hall on my campus with a unicycle. And I thought I was the only one in the Colorado School of Mines the unicycled! It made my day :~) If that person is on here they should make themselves known lol

Happens to me too, alot. Especially if I’m a little further away and they are riding no handed for a minute, but then reality comes into focus and yeah it’s a bicyclist.
I might see you over there next year.
I’m not sure yet…
That would be awesome. Mines is da bomb. There’s so much rock climbing and unicycling and camping around here that it blows my mind :~)
I’ve had it the other way around a few times. Last week I was riding my 36er along a busy road and a car behind me beeped to get passed, presumably because of my slow speed. As the car passed me the front seat passenger said, “Oh, it’s a unicycle!”
I suppose that we look like bicyclists from behind, too.
At the London Skyride event a few weeks back a woman on her bike saw me and said, “That’s a strange looking bike”, to which I duly replied, “It’s a unicycle.”
She paused and said, “Oh, I didn’t notice that its only got one wheel.”
Doh!
There was this once when I bumped into a friend who was on a unicycle and carrying another one. From afar, I could have sworn he was riding a bike and doing a wheelie.
Tis never happens to me though I have friends that say they have seen unicyclist in my town besides me and I even saw some kid on an old 20" one time.
I was riding my unicycle and i could have sworn it was a bike from the front but it was my friend wearing a beanie on his unicycle with a handlebar unit. i was tottally surprised because i always think bikes look like unicycles to
I think I’d have to make a 4.0 this next year to get admitted, though. 
My test scores are all 95 percentile or higher, but my GPA isn’t so great:p
