Unicycle

Cars haven't always been around. Neither have those beloved little scooters enjoyed by millions of small children (and immature adults) around the world. Before them there was the horse, and after that the bicycle. Everything changed when someone engaged in some harmless tomfoolery, eventually leading to what was the creation of the unicycle.
            A unicycle is a bicycle that has had a wheel removed and has no handlebar. There is no clear inventor of the unicycle. It started to make its appearance around the late 1880’s. Like the bicycle it can place its creation inside the borders of England. It was and is used for entertainment, being one of the coolest machines to use a wheel. Riding a unicycle requires a high level of balance and concentration. Once the art of unicycle riding has been mastered there are a multitude of competitions and events specially organized for lovers of the sport. The International Unicycle Federation encourages testing the limits of your ability and creativity. Juggling, jumping, and enjoying a nice ride through the park are all just a scratch on the surface of the possibilities. Skate parks are one of the best places to practice and have a blast. There’s even a unicycle hockey starting to come out!


            Unicycles aren't only for circus people. Riding unicycles has attracted people from all walks of life from teens to members of the United States government. Besides being amazing and making all arguments invalid you get the benefit of the great workout.
