I was performing at an alternative transport festival on the weekend. I was alternating between riding a 20" uni and my penny farthing. When I was riding the penny farthing a small child shouted to her mum "Wow, look at that!" to which the mother replied in knowing tones "That's a funny bike, isn't it? It's called a unicycle." It made me laugh - I didn't feel like correcting her so I kept on pedalling. Wayne van Wijk p.s. on the down side, I let someone ride the penny farthing after the gig and he did the wrong thing and broke the wheel.

Just this last weekend an over ambitious and mathematically challenged teenager [Aren't they all? ;-) ] pointed at the 5 foot giraffe and asked "Can I have a go on your tricycle?" Naomi |

I've had my uni's be called bikes many times, but I've never heard someone call a bike a unicycle. Congradulations. Daniel -- daino149 - How's it going, Texas?

Do a search for "unicycl*" and you'll usually get at least one item where the seller is describing a penny farthing (usually in a trinket, not the real thing), which clearly has two wheels, as a unicycle.
