Nah, Nick would never use those hideous dingy off-white grips. ;-)

That looks insanely unsafe.

That is what I was thinking when I saw it. It looks like it would wheely with the first pedal stroke, and it has no brakes.

This bike's next owner will definitely want to take a Salty approved "how to stop on a hill in the unfortunate event that your brake cable snaps" training course.....

It doesn't NEED brakes, dude, it's a fixie! And look, two spoke cards!

"does this look like something Nick would do?"


...That's an insult if I've ever heard one...

no insult, I took one look and thought "how cool is that!"

The center of gravity is directly above the rear wheel. It's a tall unicycle with an extra unused wheel.

for some reason, all the shocks made me think of a bus driver's seat... which someone craftier than I am could weld to an extra tall recumbant trike. That would be a cushy ride. Heh, attach one of those opening "stop sign" arms with the flashing lights for stops at lights and intersections, and that would be awesome.

Is this thing local & available for a test ride?


*makes note to fix flats & broken spokes on unicycles*
