Default Wheelie?

Would doing a wheelie be considered unicycling?

no, it'd be doing a wheelie. unicycling=riding a unicycle. your bike
dosent turn into a unicycle just because you go up on one wheel.

"Unibike

Jeff Baker has taken a quite different approach: if you do nothing but
wheelies on a mountain bike, you can lose the front wheel to produce a
unibike! He has an album including photographs and personal records."

http://www.unicycling.org/btdt/unique.html

Take the front wheel off and do nothing but wheelies and you're almost
there! hah

I've tried wheelies so many times and I've never been able to get them
to work, I always fall off in half a second. Maybe now that I can
unicycle I can do it a little better.

I'm thinking that "unibike" is like saying 1-2.
unicycles are cycles with one wheel.
bicycles are cycles with 2 wheels.

If you ride a bicycle on one wheel it is not "riding a unicycle."
If you ride a bike with the front wheel removed, I think that qualifies
as riding a uni.
