  1. Can someone please explain what a half-wheel uni looks like? I have
    been reading some old posts about .5, 1.5, 2.5, even 0 wheelers, but I
    don't know what these are. Any pictures out there?

    Thanks

    No, but that is awesome though. I am trying to find a pictue of a
    half-wheeled uni. I have an idea in my head of what this is, when I
    read about it, but it can't be what I think it is, can it?

    Jack Halpern made those unicycles. See 'this thread'
    (http://tinyurl.com/v25x) for a little more info and a picture of the
    1.5 wheeler.

    The .5 wheeler is a wheel shaped like a capital "D". Basically, half a
    wheel. The challenge is riding through that big flat spot in the
    wheel.

    The 1.5 is a two wheel stack with the top wheel the "D" shaped wheel.
    It would be a coaster unicycle for half a revolution.

    The 2.5 wheeler is a three stack with the top wheel being the "D" shaped
    half-a-wheel.

    The 0 wheeler is a standard unicycle with no spokes and no rim. Just
    the cranks attached to the hub. It's more of a walking machine than a
    unicycle. Kathump, kathump, kathump, as you go stomping around walking
    on the pedals.
