Embrios

Now, I'm not one for motorcycles and I try to keep the grown-up toy spending to a minimum, but this thing is awesome and I would certainly want one if I wouldn't be pushing 45 years old when they become available for the general populace. I suppose it isn't very practical, but it would be so much fun to scoot around in assuming you weren't going too far and didn't need to carry anything significant wth you. It's called Embrio, or at least this model of it, but the uni-cycle has taken many forms since it was first concived. For some reason I've always paid attention to one-wheel transport.

This reminds me of the countless hours I used to spend sketching and dreaming up new (or new to me) inventions; new ideas for travel and new ideas for bio-mechanical equipment like prothstetics. On the other hand the name Embrio reminds me of the protestors standing outside the abortion clinic a few blocks away this morning.
