INSIDE THE WHEEL is about monocycles, which are one-wheeled pedal-driven or motored-powered cycles with the rider "inside" the wheel. These cycles are a curiosity. While most people have seen old drawings of monocycles, most have never seen an actual monocycle. This book traces the history and development of monocycles and covers both self-propelled and motor-driven monocycles that are being built and ridden today. Monocycles are a fun novelty device and have potential for parade riding and racing. Pedal-powered monocycles may be suitable for breaking pedal-powered speed records.
