The Monocyclist

Description

I have a thing for monocycles. Why? Theoretically, they could be the fastest human-powered vehicles on earth with only one tire contact point instead of two. Sure, all movements and accelerations would have to be made very carefully to avoid disaster, but that only adds to the glamour and excitement of monocycling as a sport. Grabbing too much brake at top speed could cause the entire cockpit to join the wheel in revolution, but parachutes and weight balancing could minimize that problem. Someday the pro monocycling circuit will be more popular than nascar, if only in my imagination.

"Landing gear"

Some velos do have such a thing.
