There is a machine simpler than a unicycle called an 'ultimate wheel.'
It is like a unicycle, but has no seat or frame - just a wheel and
pedals. Oddly, it is not hard to learn. I let a friend who had no
unicycling experience try one, and he was able to go about 60 feet (20
meters) after about 15 minutes of practice, although usually it takes
several trials over a couple of weeks to get a bit of mastery. People
have been known to juggle and play music while riding ultimate wheels.
There's a link to lots of pictures and information about ultimate
wheels from www.odd-sites.com
Enjoy!

ITYF that most of us on rec.sport.unicycling are quite familiar with UW's.

across the odd-bikes one and linked to the ebay auction, but I can't
seem to locate that post now.
