Thanks for one of the funniest posts I’ve seen in months.

Wow! The unicycle is the perfect vehicle to ride, if sleeping on the road is
a problem? I wonder, has anyone actually fallen asleep riding a unicycle?
Has anyone sleep ridden a unicycle? (That would of course disprove its stay
awake feature.)

This reminds me of the one legged stools used in old grain mills, so the person
watching the mill wouldn’t fall asleep. Hey! A new application for the unicycle

  • a place to sit for people watching things who must not fall asleep.

Stay on Top, sleepy head,
