Ok that statement has got me thinking...... (dangerous thing to be doing on a sunday)

So can you get Tandem unicycles?

Stabilizers? (no sorry thats a dumb idea it wouldn't be a unicycle then)

Well, strictly speaking, a bicycle with stabilizers is no longer a bicycle, so I wouldn't worry about that too much.

although if the stabilizers weren't wheels, it'd still be a unicycle....
