Hello Stacy,

\> If anyone knows the word unicycle in any other language send it to me!!

In Dutch it’s “eenwieler” (een = one, wiel = wheel). In German the word is  
“Einrad” (Ein = one, Rad = wheel), but you must have known that!

Cheers,

Ronny Wichers Schreur ronny@cs.kun.nl

Actually in Spanish is Monociclo. Uniciclo is also used, probably due to English  
influence. In Puerto Rico we use both as synonims. Alberto Ruiz [Ruizb@aol.com](mailto:Ruizb@aol.com)

Well, I don’t know WHAT cha’ll speak in Puerto Rico… 🙂 Spanish varies more by  
location than any language I’ve ever known, and I can’t comprehend a word of it  
outside of Spain. But in Spain, they do call it a monocicleta. I’m a little  
curious about -ciclo, that looks more Latin than bicicleta.
