Unicycles

The story of bikes and some spare third wheels told from the perspective of a very willful unicycle.

***
There are two wheels on a bicycle.
They are the ones who found that they fit the frame with perfect balance. They are bound by a chain and gears, and together they turn “’til death do they part”.

Sometimes, there is an awkward third wheel.
It’s the one training wheel that decided to stay; it used to be vital to the two wheels, but time changed its usefulness. It tags along on all of the adventures, but it only tips the bike when it butts in.

And then, there is a unicycle.
This is the one that learned to stand on its own.

It’s the journey of one through the paths of many others.
