Electric Unicycles, Gyroscopic Balance, Road Safety
John Dvorak describes seeing a person on a high-speed electric unicycle zipping through an intersection at an estimated 40 miles per hour. Adam Curry explains that these devices use gyroscopes for balance, similar to a Segway, and are controlled by leaning. They debate the safety and difficulty of riding such "hands-free" transportation devices in urban environments.
