eBay not for unicycles

i wonder if they were just trying to be humorous. looks like it would
hold six unicycles just fine.

Actually, those type of carriers do work well for unicycles. I carried
my muni from Iowa to California and back last May on something like
that.

Hang the wheel off of one side and the seat post or frame on the other.
Then just tie it down with something. I prefer to use cut pieces of
inner tube as tie-downs.

Someone at BUC11 easily disproved that statement. I can't remember
offhand who, though... is this your car?

...carrier to attach to the hitch of your car, truck or suv.

if you had an SUV i doubt you'd want a b*ke rack, kinda defeats the
object of having a big open storage space.

True, except a lot of SUVs don't have much storage space if you fill
them with people.

Shoulda got a minivan!

One of the reasons I drive minivans is so I *don't* have to rack my
artistic bike or big wheel on the outside of my car if I have to bring
them to a show in the rain.

john, do you still practice your artistic bike? I recently saw "we
reinvent the circus" on Bravo, which had the Luc Tremblay piece in it,
and was intrigued to see more. perhaps you can tell me where I can find
more information on artistic bicycling?

I traded a buddy an old bunk bed for a 20.L cart top carrier. We wera
ble to fit six (6) unis, helments and safety gear into it without taking
them apart. We still had to put number 7 in the back of our station
wagon but it sure left a lot more room for luggage etc. Also we were
able to fit a 5.5 foot tall unicycle into the carrier but we did have to
pull the seat but as it still had a quick release it was no real
problem. Most of our other unis, mountain, trials and serious freestyle
have 3 bolt seat post clamps.

I was never as good on the bike as Luc Tremblay. Basically I haven't
added much in the way of new skills since I trained with him in 1983.
But standing on the seat & handlebars while jugging three clubs still
wows 'em at shows when there's enough room.

I don't know if there's much available in English on the web. I would
just start searching around, and don't be afraid of German sites. Most
of the content will likely be from Germany.

For those that are interested, our Standard Skill competition event (see
the IUF Rulebook) is entirely based on the rules for artistic bicycling.
In some ways it's not a perfect fit. Those circles were made for bikes.
It's an amazing sport when done by experts! But I think the lack of
creativity is what keeps it from growing more.
