Oh. I thought it would have 1.5 wheels, since a tandem bicycle has 3,
which is 1.5 times as many.

Oh well, I guess that works.

I don't think 'tandem bicycle' means what you think it means. It's a
bicycle built for two. As in 'Daisy, daisy...'.

Yeah yeah yeah, Hal 3000 and all that nonsense.

I figured that a unicycle built for two would have two wheels.

Anybody ever tried making one?

This was published in the December 1993 edition of Kaskade:
<URL:http://www.speedy5.freeserve.co.uk/z-kaskade1293tandemuni.jpg>

A pair of German brothers rode 80km (50 miles) on a tandem unicycle,
smashing the previous world record distance of 10m.

I can't imagine where you get that idea from. A tandem *tricycle* has 3
wheels. A tandem bicycle has 2, just like any other *bi*cycle

Hey I drove THAT one, with a girl from Belgium. It was possible, but
facing each other is a must.

During his brief description of Claude Shannon's life and achievements,
my computer professor mentioned that Shannon once built a tandem
unicycle. Unfortunately, no one at Bell Labs wanted to ride it with him
🙂

But I remember knees would hit easily. Just like in 'the method of

I could do that to with a girl from my block. *

Holy [censored]! Thanks for the link leo.

That guy wasnt even sweating at the end. :eek:

Not seen it before but the performance on the same web site at

http://unicyclist.org/cont/play.cfm?pi=w320240joshbasket2

is something I thought very funny. You have probably all seen it but if
not....then take a look about 6 Meg

Thanks, yes, they are one of my favourites. The evidence that
unicyclists in circus can be cool.
There is another movie of them as well; 'this one'
(http://tinyurl.com/4hc4r) was token on the cirque festival du demain in
Paris. No suprise they won gold.

Main difference with riding "tandem" is that you know who is leading
(the one who has contact with the pedals).
With the tandem in the picture of Jagur you don't.
So, you have to discuss who's leading before riding, and trust the other
person.
Also in the clip you can see they realy hang far away from each other,
which gives more room to recover things. On a tandem this is harder to
do.
