Bikes: surly steamroller w/coaster brake, electra single speed cruiser, specialized rockhopper commuter, no-name single speed folder, 700c ultimate wheel, 24" unicycle, specialized bmx lsd, single seat single speed huffy tandem, pink upsidedown parade bike

There are similar things on the site below. Most are motorized but the first few aren't.

This one is pretty badassterous:


Their description: "In 1869 the craftsman Rousseau of Marseilles built this monocycle, which perches the cyclist on the inside of a 2 1/2 yards-high wheel. As there is no steering mechanism, it makes uncommon demands on the rider's sense of balance."

Thats right. Brakeless may be a big deal in our wimpy modern world, but no steering is a real test of a rider.
