And I looked at what I can add to have free shipping. After I told my mum that they have unicycles she told me: “It will be f-ing awesome, buy it.”

So as responsible, grown up man I am now owner of unicycle.

(Here you can see how I tested the rack)

    My then-sixtyish year old dad bought a unicycle. He also bought a pair of ski poles to help him balance while learning to ride it by traveling up and down a long hallway in his home.

    This doesn’t really add anything to the conversation, but I’ve always found it funny and rarely had an opportunity to share it.

        I don’t think there was anyone around at the time who suggested that it was a good idea, heh.

        At the time, my mom - his wife of 27 years - had recently died and I think he was trying to find himself again. Unicycles with ski poles weren’t the only odd decisions he made.
