I was wondering if anyone had ideas for a Halloween costume while riding a
unicycle. I know it might be dark and the costume could get caught in the
wheels but I figure someone out there must have a workable idea.
I was thinking of riding around in a giant hoop skirt, like something out
of Gone with the Wind, and the skirt would hide the wheel completely, and
just see if that creates an odd-looking effect while riding.
Hi Guy - I like to dress up as Tigger. I also push my 10 month old on his
three wheeled jogger but, balancing him on one wheel also. He loves it
but, my wife gets a little nervous. Don’t wait for Halloween to dress up.
I keep fake teeth and masks in my car just for fun. Enjoy-

What about dressing as the grim reaper? If you can stop the cloak catching
under the wheel you could use the unicycle to:-
a) Give you added height.
b) Glide mysteriously along the ground. (Add dry ice for perfect effect 
Maybe roller skates would be better for the latter but they make a bit
of a noise.

You will find that catching the cloak under the wheel is not a problem (it
would be with roller skates), your knees knock it out of the way every
time you ride. It is a really effective odd.

Unless you ride backwards, that is, in which case you ride straight over
your cloak and trip yourself up.
At least, that’s what I found when we did a Halloween Fancy Dress Unicycle
Hockey Party years ago.
Forwards is great though, you sweep along so majestically, it takes great
will power to suppress the maniacal laugh
- RichardCloaks and unis are great fun! I did a series of roving entertainment
shows on unicycle in which I wore a long black coat that dragged along the
ground. It was also good on a giraffe unicycle because from behind it was
just a man floating along above a wheel. On the other hand, that could be
quite disturbing for some people - I always find it strange when girls
wear skirts and ride unis. It’s especially bad when they have to do seat
out tricks.

Yeah,
I rode my unicyckle imideiatly after my graduation cerimony in my cap and
gown. Keeping the cap from falling off was a bigger problem than keeping
the gown from getting stuck in the wheel.

Like this (actually this was just before my graduation ceremony):

There are a couple of better pictures (taken in the university
amphitheatre rather than outside the bookshop) which I really ought to
scan sometime.

You should try going as a pumpkin… Then you have no problems with things
catching the wheel…
