Is there an original source of unicycling?
The art of juggling is supposed to hae some basis in the French “Joungleers”
(forgive the incorrect spelling) but I have no idea where the first single wheel
idea came from.
Email appreciated, Grant

I imagine that soon after the wheel was invented, cavemen needed a fast means of
transportation to get away from dinosaurs. Or at least that’s what a portion of
the colorful part of the Sunday paper tells me.

I blieve that was the game loosely associated with the sunday comics’ very own
B.C. I think the name of the game was B.C.'s quest for tires.

I can confirm that, except I have a copy for the Apple ][.
It wasn’t all that fun, really.
