erco, don't tempt me with gadgets like that one, okay? I could really use one of those.

I have an assortment of unicycles including ground-level, six-feet (shown below on a ride at UPEW before things got rolling on day two) and a 13-footer. The six-footer shown below is a 1979 Schwinn Giraffe, recently restored by my son and I to original condition. I've had it for 31 years.

Right now I'm recovering from an open-knee surgery so there's no riding of any kind going on.

OK Ken, if you agree to get me an early S2, I'll stop posting these titillating unicyclic temptations.

But until then, don't EVEN look at:

because your son certainly deserves his own Schwinn Giraffe!

Or look on Craigslist for one that could be a project for adding a motor too. With the motor running you shouldn't need to pedal....

I wonder how many HB-25's it would take to run. Of course a Propeller with an Hitachi H48C Tri-Axis Accelerometer Module and a few other goodies would help too.

Hope that Knee gets better!
