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

I like this one but it's 15mm so maybe I'll try and make one (one day!).

Too funny! Looks like a rolling death-trap. THANKS for sharing.

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

Well the museums site says about 1910 (http://sinsheim.technik-museum.de/de/de/einrad) but I'm quite sure they had it labeled as built in the 1890s there.

Great museum... Visited there a few years back. Just about wore out my camera...too much to take in in one day.
