self balancing unicycle!

More to the point, during the 1970s in the US, there was a cultish form of this chant used by those who preyed upon the easily swayed and vulnerable. By using this chant, and becoming a part of the cult and parting with your money, you supposed to achieve any *material* or spiritual goal you wanted. Testimonials of people on the verge of bankruptcy who, after invoking the chant, became wealthy, abounded. Similarly for those in need of a car, the lovelorn, etc. If you watch the excellent, but extremely somber film, 'The Last Detail' (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0070290/), there is a scene where Larry Meadows (played by Randy Quaid), a Navy grunt being escorted to 10 years of hard labor for stealing $40, falls in with some members of this cult. I'm sure some of my fellow American demographic cohorts remember this.

Looks and sounds like it would be a fun little toy. All the fun of a unicycle without any quad-burn. Imagine the parade possibilities? Of course, one of the major reasons I ride a unicycle is for a good quality workout, a workout that just happens to have a whole basket full of fun thrown in. I do like the Eunicycle. --chirokid-- PS: The inventor complained about the horrible aspects of the unicycle seat, then in his Materials list, he says: "A unicycle seat. $24." Maybe if he'd upgrade to a $48 unicycle seat he have a better feeling underside. Also, the fact that he is not pedaling causes more pressure to be "down there." Foot pegs should relieve at least as much pressure as pedals do. |
