Monocycle

This Monocycle looks a lot like Garrison's invention in South Park's episode, The Entity.
Here's the Wiki description:
Garrison's "IT" is a rip on the nickname of the famous Segway PT. Garrison's "IT" can go up to two hundred miles per hour, gets three hundred miles to the gallon, and is an all-around better mode of travel. The only problem is that it is controlled by an uncomfortable method.
You can see just how uncomfortable in this video with 8:30 to go.

Are traditional bikes a bit too pedestrian for you? Ben Wilson recently unveiled a sleek monocycle at this year's XXIst Century Man Exhibition in Tokyo. Wilson's pedal-powered prototype one-ups those tendentious "bi-cycles" with a single center-seated wheel. The elegant nimbus may not provide for the smoothest ride, but it more than makes up for it via its pure awesome appeal.
