UNIQUE unicycles

When I first got into unicycling, I was fascinated with the variety of riding styles and the different types of unicycles there were. This page was particularly captivating: http://www.unicycling.org/btdt/unique.html

I’d like to keep that spark of interest and wonder alive. In this thread, please feel free to post your photos, videos, and ideas about unique and different unicycle designs, or even just funny unicycle pictures. For example: my friend Dylan had an idea to make a unicycle lawn mower. Coincidentially, I found this posting on Craigslist and though it’s not really a unicycle, it’s still hillarious!


The post: “Looking for a more out of the box way to excersize? Be the coolest guy on your street cutting the lawn with this bad boy! You can save gas and get those rock hard abs you always wanted. This bike will cut your grass to emaculate conditions. It comes stock with this excentric two tone seat. The rust on the mower gives it an antique look that will have the cat lady next door going wild for your loins. For Ten extra dollars i can throw in a basket and headlight. Is your kid bouncing off the walls? I’ll even throw in some training wheels so you can put that bastard to work. This model is a three speed so you can really tear it up. Do your neighbor kids have an annoying bike ramp in the streets all the time? Well snag that sucker and set it up infront of your trees, this bad mother will easily catch 6-7 feet of air allowing you to trim those troubling branches, as well as demolishing the ramp into oblivion so those damn kids wont be gathering infront of your house to practice for the x games. Comes with your choice of 12/40 oz beer holder that doubles as an ash tray.”

Here are some other photos:

Except…It’s a girl’s bike-mower.

Looks like a hard way to mow, those push mowers take some torque!

Maybe invent a Giraffe with push mower blades below where the wheel goes.
Make free mounting a lot more interesting.

So… this is a thread about unicycles? Then why isn’t it in the Rec.Sport.Unicycling forum?

That bike is actually a good invention over those sit down mowers. Unless of course you have a field for a backyard and it takes a long time to mow.

hahahaha… I was wondering how you slipped through my ignore list… thats pretty funny…

It’s an impostor. You kids are so silly! Too bad you aren’t very funny…

Maestro8, what happened to your cool posts on physics and engineering? Your debunking of stupid theories and attacks on gullibility, imbecility and general reluctance to think? All the posts I’ve seen by you lately are more or less toss.

Are you in the middle of an existential quandary?

Its all come about since he got that pointy head, let that be a warning to everybody.

We owned this once. We’ve since sold it.

Sadly, I depend on you guys to be my posting muses. There’s been nothing but “toss” on the fora lately, so I haven’t much to work with.

What can I do? Prod you guys to post better threads? Hah!

Interesting…who would want to buy this? I wish it showed someone riding it. The ebay page I got it from said it hasn’t been produced since 1992…I can see why. Here’s the page: http://cgi.ebay.com/LERUN-UNICYCLE-SKATEBIKE-WHITE-NEW-IN-THE-BOX_W0QQitemZ150263352363QQihZ005QQcategoryZ2904QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting

You depend on guys to be your muses? I always imagined muses to be little pretty female creatures. And I’m not clicking on that link. I have a rule, you know: no wiki articles before breakfast.

Although, I agree with the forums being toss. I’ll start a new thread I think.

I know someone who owns a red one from ebay. it’s a bit odd, but whatever.

I have one, I can make a quick vid of me riding it if you want…?

Well to me, these are unique. :smiley:
1) Half fork unicycle.
2) Crab unicycle.
3) 2 seater unicycle.
4) UNO.
5) Monowheel.
6) Old school unicycle.

No way! Please make a vid!

Harper’s Unicycle

Coincidence?


Because it is “Just Conversation.” :astonished:

Wrong.

Yes, please do! I’d love to see a video of you riding that. It looks like a backwards mini penny farthing.
