Unicycle

A unicycle, also monocycle is a vehicle that touches the ground with only one wheel. The most common variation has a frame with a saddle, and has a pedal-driven direct-drive. A two speed hub is commercially available for faster unicycling.

Unicycling is practiced professionally in circuses, by street performers, in festivals, and as a hobby.
Unicycles have also been used to create new sports such as unicycle basketball and unicycle hockey.
In recent years, unicycles have also been used in mountain unicycling, an activity similar to mountain biking or trials.
