Got that, just not the connection to unicycles.
My guess is the unicycle was chosen (by a non-rider) to represent the difficulty of the act of staying above poverty. I personally find it ridiculous, but such is political commentary.

These look great! And since there are two of them, nobody will ask where the other wheel is…

They look amazing and being one offs is special
Looking back at my random find of last night, I’m thinking this might be an ‘actually used’ unicycle rather than just a prop. The seat and frame look very basic and retro, but surely the pedals and tyre are upgrades, and that could be real muni mud on the treads. I wonder if a member of the photo shoot team was a muni rider? I guess not recently or they would probably have got a better uni by now! (There’s also a spare pedal half out of shot, but that looks like a road pedal. And now I should do something more useful than speculating about the back story of random advertising photos!
