What's with the unicycles?


I'm surprised that people couldn't organise to buy two wheels instead of one, have organised themselves into some form of pseudo-sporting body!

In the last couple of weeks, I've seen three different unicyclists in action, on the streets of Melbourne, peddling their awkward, inertia-unfriendly, yet still wheel-based machine.

A 'mountain unicycle' costs above 1k.
NEW PRICE With ultra-durable components including the strongest 700c rim available, the KH29 rolls smoothly over bumps and is a faster choice for cross-country or combination on/offroad riding. Brake not included.

Isn't it hard enough that you are attempting to 'climb a mountain' that you have to try and do it with ONE WHEEL and NO BRAKE?! If that's not a plan to weed out the silliest people with the most money, I don't know what is.
