The Cycling Craze
Uni means one, bi means two and tri means three.
A unicycle has one wheel, a seat and two pedals.
A bicycle has two wheels, a seat and two pedals.
A tricycle has three wheels, a seat and two pedals.
A unicycle has one wheel, a seat and two pedals.
A bicycle has two wheels, a seat and two pedals.
A tricycle has three wheels, a seat and two pedals.
Two hundred years ago, when they were first made, the
most common bicycles were called ‘penny-farthings’.
They had a large front wheel and a very small back wheel.
The pedals were in the centre of the front wheel and the seat was above it.
The rider was high up in the air. If a rider braked suddenly, the back wheel
would rise right up off the ground. This meant that they could easily be
thrown off the seat. They would have to hang on tight to the handle bars to
keep themselves from coming off. It was a long way to the ground.

To people watching, it was very funny.
Some riders, who could manage to keep their
balance on the front wheel, did it just to entertain others.

This led to the making of unicycles.
Riders tried to see how far they could travel
balanced on these one-wheeled cycles.
They were able to be pedaled backwards as well as forward.
those who were skilled at riding on the front wheel of a penny-farthings
were usually able to ride a unicycle well.

The craze did not last very long. These days unicycles are most
