I'm building a unicycle. What should I do to it to "pimp" it.

Lower it.

Put mirrors all over the surface of the unicycle

Make a custom billet 22" wheel that takes a standard car tire. Weld flames on back of the unicycle frame.

I'm still in 'ride up and down the hall touching the wall every few feet' mode, but the Jewnicycle is fun. Mostly because people see it and are all 'wtf?'. Ankle strength is key.

A trailer would be cool too, as long as it is a single wheel bob style.

Get a rockin horse and attach the saddle part to the seat add a pair of reins and ride it. That would a hoot.

Thats your bike though. You use it every day.

No, the bike I use everyday has two wheels and a white seat. Not one wheel with a buttplug on it.

Nice try though, if you got more you can keep them coming.

Make the thing tall enough to incorporate a bottom bracket above the wheel and build it with an 8 speed hub. Or use a generator hub and have tons of lights on it.

A very springy shock absorber - cross between a unicycle and a pogo stick.

Ooh, or a 'bent unicycle.

Make one like this.

It should be pretty simple to fabricate, but you might need a rip in time/space continuum to reach the pedals and sit in the seat, But those are pretty cheap nowadays, hell I even have a spare.
