Pricey electric bicycle wheel gets you to work sweat-free
Yes, I own a bike. But it's nothing to get excited about. A neighbor put it on the sidewalk with a "free" sign, and bam! I had a bicycle. It's old and rusty but perfect for neighborhood errands. I normally wouldn't use it to ride to work, but the $1,000 GeoOrbital wheel could change that. If I could afford it.
I learned to ride an electric unicycle
As a beginner, stepping onto an electric unicycle is equal parts frightening and exhilarating. There are no handlebars to grip or a saddle to clench between your thighs, just two narrow pedals separated by a small motorized wheel. Leaning forwards or backwards propels you in that direction, while tilting to either side, similar to a slalom skier, allows you to turn. These delicate bodily adjustments sound simple enough, but actually performing them on the Uniwheel, the first of its kind designed and engineered in the UK, is another matter entirely. You can fall off in an infinite number of ways and for the first few hours, you will. A lot.
