A unicycle is healthy. On a segway or bike, you have motors or different gears to help you out (All right, maybe a dozen unicycles in the world are exceptions such as blue shift (two internal gears), a couple motorized unis, the uber coker I referred to earlier) Your leg muscles, balance, coordination and general terrain awareness are improved.

I ABSOLUTELY have to agree!! A unicycle is a way to show some real uniqueness and to demonstrate to people that you have interest in things that are not seen as common, popular, or "in". I think everyone is too busy trying to go after the things that everyone likes or "approve" of (the brand new and modern things -- not really saying that they are bad), but they don't spend any real time trying to get involved in "out dated" things to see if they might even like it. Tsk* Tsk* Tsk* Shame on you

Secondly, it is definetly healthier. I mean America is turning into a nation of lazy couch potatoes or computer potatoes for that matter. I ask you: is it enough to just stand on a two-wheeled cart that basically carries your lazy behind everywhere? I don't think so ... what happened to the good-ole' walking or running, to get around? But seriously, at least riding a traditional unicycle is much more health friendly ... excercise leg muscles and improve your balance ... maybe we should all start worrying about the health problem.
