Dealing with dogs
Dogs always go for me too.
I ride in the woods where dogs are never on a lead and they're
generally bigger than their owners!

I see potential. There are times that you want to change wheel sizes and
carting around a spare wheel occupies less space than a spare
unicycle.
The idea is sound. If you can make it so that:
