Back in the 70s, Al Hemminger and a machinist friend built a unicycle
with 13/16" wheel. That's supposed to be slightly smaller than a dime. I
rode this unicycle on a TV show once. It was a giraffe, about 15" high
or so, with a normal Schwinn seat on top. It had a belt drive, which
also worked as the tire on the little bottom wheel. It was very hard to
ride because the "forks" or whatever you want to call them, had very
little ground clearance. It could only be ridden on very hard, smooth
surfaces like a tile floor or formica. I believe it was listed in
Guinness in the mid 1980s, but then not listed after that (in US
editions).

Much more difficult to manage is a "standard" unicycle with tiny wheel.
In other words, pedals directly on the wheel. I've seen people ride
wheels down to about 1.5", and I know there are smaller ones out there.
At one time Peter Rosendahl had the record with a tiny-wheeled cycle
with a very low seat (about 8" high). That one may still be current.

I figure it's pretty clear that offroad unicycling is a stupid thing to do - joemarshall

I dont think its the smallest but there is a very small uni ridden in
the "The Swedish Cycle Act" video in 'J.C.'s Monster Gallery'
(http://gallery.unicyclist.com/monster). It's a very cool video....for
those of you that havent seen it. I appreciate that he took the time to
put it in his gallery.
