Giraffe unicycle

|
Giraffe unicycles are tall, usually chain-driven unicycles. The exceptions are some very tall unicycles which require "fixed" cranks instead of chains, since a certain amount of slack is unavoidable once the chain exceeds a certain length. This slack can cause slippage and loss of control which can be serious on a very tall unicycle.
You can create a giraffe unicyle from a normal bicycle by taking the front wheel and handlebars off and sitting on the bit of the frame that the handlebar stem usually fits into. This should only really work with a fixed wheel bicycle.Template:Cycling stub
