> Dutch EENWIELER standard Dutch EENWIELFIETS colloq.? variant

When I was in Holland in 1983 staying with the Abrahams, I remember being
taught "eenwielfiets" as the main term they used. I have also heard
eenwieler from other Dutch riders.

I have tried to clear that up that up in a reply in the original thread.

Today I asked my unicycling daughters (aged 10 and 12) about synonyms, and
they came up with just two: WIELER (wheeler) used consistently by one girl
in her class. RARE FIETS (odd cycle) used rarely, for want of a more
specific term in ones vocabulary.

Because of the remarks stated, I would call none of these two a synonym.
