http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/4/2009/12/500x_tandemunicycle.jpg Sure, it's a neat-looking concept that Corbin Dunn came up with, as far as cycling death traps go. But in these economic times, it's also a practical solution for couples who'd rather not splurge on extravagances like a second wheel.
For coolness factor, I'd put this tandem unicycle (http://gizmodo.com/tag/tandemunicycle/) somewhere between Bi-Cycle tandem bike (http://gizmodo.com/5016577/bi+cycle-tandem-bike-is-perfect-for-the-couple-thats-going-nowhere) and the Face-to-Face (http://gizmodo.com/378006/face-to-face-tandem-bike-makes-first-dates-last-dates), while for pure crazy it's just shy of the Uno bike (http://gizmodo.com/5418328/uno-bike-goes-from-stunningly-cool-to-stupidly-ridiculous-in-05-seconds) in single-wheel formation. Unfortunately, Corbin forgot to save his "great post about the construction details," so you're on your own for now building a tandem unicycle for you and your sweetheart. I'm pretty sure that step one was "lose all rational sense of physical limitations," so feel free to get a head start on that until the full instruction list is up.
