On our December 13, 2012 facebook post, we were looking at the Hammacher-Schlemmer Motorized Monocycle and wondering if they had been watching Men In Black movies when they got the idea for it. Now I keep seeing pictures of monocycles and it seems like it wasn’t reverse engineering after all but these have been around since the late 1800s. Click here to go to a site that has a great gallery of pictures and rundown on the evolution of the monocycle. There really is nothing new under the sun.
