Not an unicycle[edit]

The pedals can't drive the shown wheel. This vehicle would have another wheel behind. 丁 (talk) 14:36, 18 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

To me, this is clearly a very old unicycle but the intermediate transmission between the pedals and the wheel is not visible. Please don't change the original description because you think it is wrong. See monocycle on File:Velocipedes.png. --Foroa (talk) 15:44, 24 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I saw File:Velocipedes.png. Then would you see http://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/92521065/? -- 丁 (talk) 18:55, 24 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
You're right. The photographer tried to cheat. I added a note. --Foroa (talk) 21:01, 24 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I zoomed into more detail and indeed, I judged too quickly: they tried to cheat by hiding the backwheel of the bicycle and using falsely the word unicycle. Good observation. --Foroa (talk) 12:41, 25 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
