When I've seen people unicycle (I'm a 2 wheel man), they go faster than a power walk but slower than a run. Plus, they're smaller and more maneuverable than a bike so they're much easier to take on sidewalks and around pedestrians. Pretty similar to a Segway. Pedals drive the wheel directly (no gears), so to slow down or stop you just pedal slower and then hop off. Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicycle http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicycle) is pretty fascinating, including these notable unicyclists: Adam Corolla, Donald Rumsfield, and Claude Shannon!
