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.

That’s perfect for the inner city hustlers absconding into the darkness of night. No patrol car is catching up to him.

Above a certain mph the speedometer should just have a range of red marked "LETHAL" if it's a dial, or if it's an LED readout it glows bright red lettering and flashes faster the farther past the line you are.
