The people over at Unicycle.com will be quick to tell you just what a great workout riding a unicycle is, how it can make you a better bike rider, or even make you stronger or improve your balance and coordination.
That much is no secret, and becoming proficient in the saddle of a unicycle is a life-long pursuit.All the same, it is not the only wheeled machine that requires a good deal of skill to master.
Whether youâre a skilled unicyclist looking for a new ride to challenge your skills or have simply always entertained the thought of tackling a circus bike with resolve, it might be time for you to investigate the Hoppley Circus Bike (20 inch model) thatâs also available at unicycle.com.Unlike a regular bicycle, the Hoppley Circus Bike has no chain drive.
However, in this case, since bikes have two wheels, the cranksets are attached directly to the hub of the rear wheel.As with a unicycle, this gives you great control over the drive and balance of the rear wheel; it takes a good deal of strength and finely tuned balance, but you can start or stop the rear wheel very effectively with the directly attached crankets; this makes hopping or balancing practical.The Hoppley Circus Bike (20 inch) has a front wheel that rotates entirely independently of the rear wheel and features two stunt pegs at the front, as well as 360-degree handlebar rotation.
These features make it possible to accomplish a variety of traditional circus stunts and even BMX style tricks - at least with the right practice.
The unique design of this circus bike also makes it possible to accommodate a second rider - which makes stunt riding and performing all the more impressive.If itâs the quality of speed you're after, this circus bike probably isnât for you; but all the same, if youâre looking to impress a crowd or build confidence in the saddle, there are few bikes that can offer you the same, even for experienced cyclists.
