That is quite amazing there are so many riders. When a lot of people were
interested, I saw almost a dozen riders at my college (about 8,000
undergrad population). Unfortunately, besides myself, there are only 2
others who ride an anything resembling a regular basis.
Without a doubt, the hardest part about getting others interested in
riding is the expense. That you have 6 or more who learned to ride without
actually owning a unicycle is impressive, indeed. (I have extra unicycles
myself, but have a hard time lending them out to others because either I
use them a ton as my 20", or they wouldn’t be fit to learn to ride on, as
my coker.)

When was this? I have always thought that this concept came up first in
Amsterdam in the 1960’s, under the name “witte fietsen plan” (white
bike plan, if you didn’t guess). It was too idealistic though and
didn’t live long.

I think it was within the last 5 years or so. I saw one of the yellow
bikes around the time that the project hit the local news. The idea may
very well have been borrowed from somewhere else.
