tricycle minus two

On my bicycle commute home last night I saw a guy going down the sidewalk on R St on a unicycle. These are quite the funny mode of transportation, if you can call it that. We used to have a unicycle in storage down in our basement. I guess my Dad used to ride it for fun. I think I saw him used it a time or two but never got the urge (or cajones)to try it myself.
Anyway, the point of all of this is that the image of the guy on R St. must have seeped into my subconscious because last night I dreamed that all of the bike messengers and hipsters in the city had turned in their fixed-gear bikes and switched to unicycles. Picture bands of unicycle riders in tight girly jeans and those funny scarf things going down Connecticut Ave, a sight to be seen for sure.
When the trend starts to change and unicycles become in vogue, don’t forget where you heard it first!
