	Unicycle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Unicycles are composed of a few key parts: the wheel (which includes the tire, tube, rim, spokes, hub and axle), the cranks, pedals, frame, seatpost and the saddle (the seat of the unicycle).
		Designed for unicycle trials, trials unicycles are stronger than standard unicycles in order to withstand the stresses caused by jumping, dropping, and supporting the weight of the unicycle and rider on components such as the pedals and cranks.
		It is not plagued by the normal unicycle balance problems because of the greater gyroscopic properties and lower center of mass.

	Unicycle trials - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Unicycle trials is a form of unicycling which involves participants attempting to ride a unicycle over obstacles without any part of the rider touching the ground.
		Hopping is achieved by suddenly forcing the unicycle pedals downwards while holding the seat, the reactive forces resulting from the compression of the tire lift the unicycle into the air.
		Pedal grabs and crank grabs involve a hop or jump to land the unicycles pedal or crank on the edge of an object, and then a second hop or jump to land the unicycle fully on the object.

	NZUni : New Zealand Unicycle Federation
		Unicycle high jump in NZ is run under the same rules as normal high jump competitions.
		Unicycle long jump is run differently from normal long jump competitons.
		This is because the rider must remain in control of their unicycle after jumping and hence a sand pit cannot be used.

	Robotic unicycle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The problem of creating a robotic unicycle, a self-powered unicycle that balances itself in three dimensions, is an interesting problem in robotics and control theory.
		The theoretical work on the unicycle problem is complemented by work on the construction of actual mechanically ridden unicycles.
		The Eunicycle is a powered unicycle that is capable of balancing itself forwards and backwards automatically, but requires a human rider to balance it from side to side.

	Gilby's Website: Photos of Gilby on a double wheeled unicycle
		So it's an oxy-moron, but it's still a unicycle because it has only one support point in contact with the ground and the support point is the wheel (most of the time it's the bottom wheel, unless I attempt seat drag in front).
		A unicycle with two wheels is nearly impossible for even expert unicyclists to ride.
		Another similar trick like this that you would be going backward on a standard unicycle is "koosh-koosh" (apparently that's the sound it makes when doing this trick, but it's actually a backwards wheelwalk with one foot behind the frame and the other on the frame and breaking on the wheel between steps).

	Frequently Asked Questions on Unicycling
		The accepted view is that the unicycle came from the penny-farthing bicycle, which had a large front wheel and a small rear wheel.
		Several years ago the Gonzo Unicycle Madness club at Harvey Mudd College (Claremont, CA) put the legal definitions of the bicycle and pedestrian on their club shirts, with the title "Unicycling is not a Crime".
		Any (non-giraffe) unicycle that has a one piece crank with pedals that are just kind of stuck on the ends of the crank (tricycle technology) was not actually designed with the intention that it would be ridden, especially by an adult.

	Unicycle Tips (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		20" unicycles, by far the most popular size, are generally for ages 8 to adult.
		A 24" unicycle travels farther with each revolution of the pedals, and is better for longer distance riding.
		Adjust the unicycle seat similar to the way you would adjust your bicycle seat.

	lilfunky1.com: Ted, 20" Torker Unicycle
		The unicycle is stock from the Torker factory, nothing has been changed other than cranks.
		I went along since I was informed that both unicycles needed new (opposite) cranks and I really needed one pair for both unicycles, so I opted for shorter cranks on this and to replace the good crank with the bad one on Danielle.
		This is the unicycle that I first rode unassisted, it took 6 months but it was worth it.

	The Electric Unicycle
		The unicycle balances itself using a simple feedback loop between a solid-state gyroscope and the wheel motor.
		This is really the same thing that a conventional unicycle rider does with his legs.
		The unicycle uses an OSMC motor controller which takes a PWM drive signal directly from the microcontroller, reducing delay to less than a millisecond.

		The 2006 Berkeley Juggling and Unicycle Festival is coming up soon (Friday, September 29 to Sunday, October 1).
		Unlike most of the juggling festivals, the Berkeley festival focuses on unicycling as one of its primary activities; we have two MUni rides, a big-wheel road ride/party (with a thumpin' sound system--many people thought this the best event of the weekend!), and a number of games and workshops for unicyclists.
		This Unicycle event is being coordinated by Nuneaton Juggling Club in conjuction with Warwick County Council and British Cycling.

	RIDE THE UNICYCLE - A CRASH COURSE! LEARN TO RIDE THE UNICYCLE QUICKLY AND SAFELY
		For those of you whose inseam is 30” and greater, even though the chart recommends you ride a 24” unicycle, I personally recommend that you learn on a 20” unicycle provided the seat post is long enough so that the unicycle fits you properly.
		And third, a 20” unicycle is not as fast as the larger wheel unicycles, which also helps to lessen the fear of falling.
		However, as I mentioned previously, it is not uncommon for a unicycling enthusiast to own several different size and shape unicycles for different types of riding.

		Unicycle is a free, open source PalmOS app for recording a woman's BBT (basal body temperature) and certain other data that can be used for the "Fertility Awareness Method" (FAM).
		Caveats: Unicycle intentionally does not make predictions from your data (that is up to you to do).
		I have recently noticed another freeware (though probably not open source) application that does offer to make predictions, so if that is what you are looking for, you may want to go investigate "NFP for PalmOS" (with which I have no affiliation).

	Things not to do
		That spot on the dune is John Foss riding his unicycle in the soft sand, which came up to the axle of his 20".Afterward, one pedal had to be rebuilt, and the axle and bearings had to be replaced due to sand contamination and other problems.
		The unicycle is a poor means of underwater transportation, because of the lack of traction due to rider buoyancy.
		David Ramos was an early member of the unicycle club in Isabela, and a rider on the undefeated Puerto Rico All Stars unicycle basketball team at UNICONs I-IV (UNICON IV was only a few miles from where this picture was taken).
