The first thing I thought was "knuckles and knees" both would be stripped of skin if she braked too hard. But I suppose there would be a logical reason for that not to happen lol

Post by: Turbo-Ben on August 26, 2014, 07:36:18 PM: I just saw that there are other vids around, but this one is an exact copy of the original from the 1890s.

And Tobsen already built it! -> http://tobsen77.de/products/monowheel.php (http://tobsen77.de/products/monowheel.php)
Title: Re: On Ya Bike.
Post by: FramFramson on August 26, 2014, 08:00:51 PM: I think the original is from the 30's and not the 1890's. I like how the photos available actually show the inventor (I THINK these are all the same guy?) aging, as well as the design being refined:
