One-Wheel Revolution

It was such a nice day out day, I couldn’t help but go wander the neighbourhood.  It’s days like this that remind me why I love living in this city—people of all sorts out enjoying themselves. 

Which brings me to this question:  How is it that in the last few months I’ve actually seen 3 separate people riding unicycles?  (Regardless of the weather even!)

These aren’t clowns, buskers, or Russian circus bears—these were all actual, every day people just like us, minding their own business, getting from point A to point B… as awkwardly as possible.

When did the unicycle lose its ‘novelty’ status as a mode of transportation?  Perhaps I should look into reviving other wacky people-movers.
