Re: More fun stuff to try on your unicycle!

When my brother was a kid, someone trashed his new bicycle, so he did what
you did--took the handlebars, front fork, and front wheel off and gave them
to me to use with my unicycle, and I sure did get a lot of funny looks.

My brother always has a way to make something good of a bad situation...

Here's a neat visual trick you might like to try - I took an old kids
bicycle (like one with a banana seat) that was discardable, removed the
handlebars, wheel and fork and reassembled them, so that now you have
front end of a bike. Get on your uni and push this around. It's not
tough, nor would I recommend it for learning, but it gets a good reaction
from bystanders - when you see two wheels moving along, you just don't
expect sudden 180' turns, one wheel dropping back to be beside the other,
slaloming, that sort of thing. It's fun to play with (and wheelies are
easy :-).

Also, people can't say those silly things like ' hey you forgot your other
wheel' (if they try it, now you can *throw* a wheel at them :->).
