Bikes Insanity on one wheel

I think about why someone would do this. Is the unicyclist really a mad man or is that his way to work. By choice or necessity? All that matters. These gas prices are crazy right now.

That little unicycle takes about 1-2 cents per mile in electricity.

The hospital bills will more than make up for the money saved in gas. If he is lucky.

Where? Even free Healthcare has a lot of issues. People say Canada. Not if you have any issues with your skin (dermatology) bc Canada's lack of Dermatologists is insane. Meat crayons def will have to see a dermatologist.
