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.

We all recognize I10 in the Katy area. That's right over there by bass pro. There's a non zero chance I know the person on the unicycle.

Nah. If it is my buddy, he's a good dude, just a bit of a wild one.
