“Do you want a side with that?” is a familiar question in sandwich shops and the like. A side is one thing when it’s a serving of, say, roasted potatoes; but when that side is a wind, I’d rather skip it.

And a sidewind is hard enough on a BI-cycle. What must it be like if you’re riding a UNI-cycle? Such a workout might help develop better core strength for dealing with wind on two wheels; but I don’t feel like trying it.

Oh, and do you want a side with that on a unicycle? Like, I mean, a sidekick for your act? Don’t look at me!
