  1. You can now search for patents on Google with

    http://www.google.com/patents

    Have a look and search for unicycle and you get a lot of different
    patents, really interesting reading.

    HAHAHAHAH, oh man...the things people think of.

    Wasn't it recently discussed how expensive it is to get a patent?
    Imagine spending your money on something like that. Not to mention how
    difficult that thing would be to ride....

    Good thing that patent is up; otherwise, unisk8er's frame and handle
    would be infringing.

  7. Out of all those unicycle patents, only 2 from Schwinn, and both
    entirely practical. The rest are insane, and what was with the huge
    hamster wheel fetish around the 1890's?

    I've seen a lot of stupid, but when it comes to patent ideas this is
    definitely one of them. I have three words for the so-called inventor:

    Working model.
    Testicles.

    I could add a few more, such as "Huh? What's it spposed to do?
    Exercise? I think running is already patented, and running with a hula
    hoop pulling at your sack is just not going to sell. He keeps
    mentioning unicycle in his article, but never explains what this is,
    besides a hoop that's in your way while you run.

  11. Whatever happened to learning to unicycle the good old fashioned way -
    falling off a lot? IMO there is no substitute.

    It strikes me that someone has filed a patent thinking "Yeah, i'm
    surely gonna make millions and be able to retire early, now the whole
    world can see the beauty of my invention. I have brought unicycling to
    the masses and milked the cash cow".

    Maybe the rest of the world is content with using two wheels and is
    happy to leave the slower and more awkward mode of transportation to us
    nutters.

    Literally. At least none of the ones I've seen in there. The best
    training tool I've seen for unicycling is probably a dicycle. That's a
    unicycle with two wheels next to each other. You can learn part of the
    balance and pedaling actions on that, making it a little easier when
    you switch over to a regular unicycle. But you'll still have to learn
    like anyone else.

  15. Me Grandpappy had some patents and I found them on there. Should I get a
    vanity patent on my quick-release bearing holder?

    That probably depends on the dollar value of your vanity. 🙂

    No kidding. Someone told me it cost $2500+ to get a patent these days.
    I sometimes cut my own hair, that should calibrate you on the value of
    my vanity

  19. I'd like to cut my own hair, but my wife won't let me. Anyway, I'm sure
    all unicyclists will enjoy these patents. Please be patient with my
    vanity here.

    Only one is really worth anything.

  20. I clicked your link, and then searched "John Foss" just to see if he'd
    been crazy enough to patentize anything(no offense, but I don't think
    that's a good way to make money, not selling it cheap or expensive). I
    instead found 'this' (http://tinyurl.com/vhz6s), not the John Foss I
    was looking for, but it looks like an important invention. Something to
    do with glass...ah well.
