The December 2001 issue of the Minnesota State Bar Association magazine,
Bench & Bar of Minnesota, features a unicyclist on the cover. You can

I’ve seen the real thing. I have an old picture of Tom Miller at one of
the Mini-Meets in Michigan, probably 1980 or 81. He’s riding a wagon wheel
unicycle–with the frame off. Essentially a 42-or-so inch ultimate wheel!
One false move and…be glad he’s wearing bluejeans in the picture!

Maybe he isn’t riding at all. The whole could have been photoshopped
together. The photographer’s original plan for the picture of the unicycle
on the phonebook was to rent a giraffe; take a picture of the giraffe, a
picture of a kid, a picture of the road, a picture of the clouds; then
photoshop the whole thing together. The art director and the photographer
were amazed at their luck when all of the elements were present in one
place at one time.
The world is becoming a fake place where we are amazed at our luck to find
a real thing now and then.
