I don’t know about where you guys are, but Saturday here was a beautiful day.
Good enough even to go out and just ride a “regular” unicycle!

That was fun reading tho!

You wouldn’t happen to have a picture of it would you?

RE: Gilby AutoBalance Unicycle

This indeed is a revolutionary product! Since we can’t buy a new one until next
year perhaps some enterprising alien will post one for sale on eBay.com? Using
my time-travel machine (already patented, or at least it will be, in 2031) I’ve
checked those new babies out, and give them a two thumbs up to their design.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t carry one back with me from the future.

I consider that AutoBalance Unicycle as very dangerous and as a violation to
international regulations. As you may know, lots of car drivers are killed every
year because of falling asleep while driving. To make unicycling a saver sport
the unicycling manufacturers all over the world agreed years ago to add a
special safety device to any unicycle: whenever a unicyclist falls asleep while
riding the unicycle, he/she will automatically be dropped at the curb. Have you
ever heard about someone falling asleep while unicycling? Probably not. But that
may change with your AutoBalance Unicycle. So it’s not only a violation to the
IUSA (International Unicycling Saftey Agreement) but also an endangerment of all
unicyclists. I strongly recommend not to distribute those unicycles for not
being liable for the lifes of thousands of unicyclists.

BTW, Is there already a prototype available or will it be shipped untill April,
1 next year?

Best regards and thanks for a good laugh, Wolfgang

It’s possible, but very unlikely. Once you have one of these unicycles, you will
never want to sell it (even if you have more than one).

That’s the quality designs that everyone has grown to know and love from Gilby
Productions. :slight_smile:

You need one of those particle time transducers. However, it wouldn’t work since
the AutoBalance unicycle has a built in Anti-PTT to prevent it from time
transport (a security measure).

Re: Gilby AutoBalance Unicycle

By the description, this sounds -exactly- like the unicycle that I ride when I
have unicycle dreams! (which kinda makes me uncomfortable; alien abductions and
all that…)

I want one! Please try to push up the availability date!!

In the meantime, can we buy an AutoBalance T-shirt?

That picture is from one of the shirt ideas I had stashed away (with a lot of
others) and it just happened to fit for the AutoBalance. So it is possible that
the shirt will be available in the future. What does everyone think of that
design? Let me know if you like it (and what you don’t like about it) and maybe
I’ll try to get that one out sooner.
