Why is the only .arpa website about unicycles?

I have a friend visiting New York (from UK) in September. He wants to buy a Unicycle and take it home with him. The model he wants is a "Semcycle" with a 20 inch wheel. Is there a (real) store in NY that stocks them? I've seen the Semcycle on line store already. Thanks in advance.

UniFilter: Someone brought in a unicycle at work (something he bought ages ago, never learned how to use, never touched again, the usual) and I made a stupid bet that I could learn how to ride it in a week. Yeah, I've been practicing, but I have a feeling I'm screwed. Anyone in the Bay Area able to help me prevail over long odds? Alternatively, anyone have any good suggestions for how to learn? I have seen the unicycle faq bit about how to learn, but I have a feeling learning on my own is going to be really hard. After a full days workout (damn riding one of these things is tiring) I'm lucky if I can even make the wheel go around once before I fall off. And getting on without holding onto a wall/post/whatever? HA!

All I have to do is be able to travel in a straight line for about 50 feet. I really don't want to lose this bet. (It's not the money, it's the pride. Oh so much pride.) Anyone I've got all of Sunday and Monday to work at it, and was wondering if anyone could give me any pointers. Especially if you are in the Bay Area. Double especially if in the East Bay. Triple especially if in Berkeley.
