Training wheels for Unicycle: Patent of the Week - Part 1

Because I've always wanted to learn how...

U.S. Patent No. 7,537,229

Unicycle with auxiliary wheels

Inventor: Pao-Kung Wu

From the specification: 

"The unicycle has only one wheel such that the ride skill of the unicycle is more difficult than that of a bicycle.  As a result, some people give up learning to ride the unicycle because they often fall from the seat of the unicycle and gradually lose his/her confidence of riding unicycle during learning.  It's a pity."

A pity, indeed.
