My unicycle train

I brought my unicycle to a family reunion in Port Townsend, Washington and my uncle had a tow-bike thingy and a bike trailer with him. So I attached them and pulled my cousin in the trailer. Overall it was pretty hard to get going but I could turn quite easily once I got going. Here are some pics:

Oh and nobody could sit on the tow-bike because it pulled the uni straight back.

cool. and +1 to the pull behind bike thing. You shold mount it so it keeps the uni up straight so someone can ride the back part.

Cool pics. Just curious if you could get someone to pedal the smaller bike behind you, it could be like a twin engine train.

no, we tried having someone on the blue bike but the weight makes the uni fall backwards. It does work when attached to a bike tho, I pedaled the back one and my uncle just steered while riding the front bike.

And sambas are awesome, I've worn them my whole life
