worst unicycle for me - Page 3

Greg;

Did anyone mention that it has to have large spikes on the crank where it meets the hub, so as to hit your ankle knobs (OK, I forgot the technical name for them) everytime time you pedal.

A custom Coker with a 37" wheel and an extra-narrow hub. The spokes are made of fishing line. Of course, a Coker tire won't quite fit on this wheel, so you have to ride it around on the bare rim.

A unicycle where the pedaling action turns the handle on a music box that plays Entry of the Gladiators non-stop as you ride.

Ride it proudly around the neighborhood! (clown costume and earplugs extra)

A maruni (pronounced marOOnee). After you ride it for a few miles, it falls apart and leaves you stranded.

This must be the best idea so far. It's almost the most dangerous uni idea ever. The music would surely make you kill yourself after half a mile of riding.

And a new idea. A geared Coker with some device inside the tire that sends a rod out of the tire that soon hits the frame. This makes UPD's you at a great speed. Better yet you could be strapped to the saddle and use clipless pedals. Under the handle there would be glue so once you touch it you can't get your hands of.

edit. And this is probably the best thread ever.

The earplugs were intended not to block the music, but to block the comments, laughs, and "sing-alongs" of the people seeing you ride.

Who needs a wind up music box? I can play Entry of the Gladiators on my accordion as I ride.

unicycle + accordion + EotG = fun

joona · 2003-12-07, 05:28 PM

When I get my cable for my cell phone working I'll put the Entry of Gladiators as a tone into the phone and start keeping juggling balls with me every where I ride. Then if someone calls me a clown or something like that, I'll just turn on the music and start juggling and ride away.

This is going to be so much fun.

a 1976 troxel

I used to own one and learned the rudiments of riding on it's unpadded child-sized banana seat and solid rubber 16" tire. (shudders at the memory of the endless chafing)

when youre new to unicycling and think that upgrading your uni is getting a savage, putting lasko cranks on it, and a united seat. then you go try to MUni with it at a low air pressure and...well you know what would happen.
