Abstract A unicycle training device in the form of a mobile frame open at the front to the supporting floor between vertical side rails that extend materially above the head of the learner when mounted on the seat of a unicycle between outwardly curved horizontal side rails which are adapted to be grasped by the hands of the learner, who must have freedom for balancing gyrations when so mounted prior to propelling the unicycle through the open front of said frame free of said rails and for other training in balancing free of said frame. The device comprises a pair of Ushaped members mounted on casters and secured together by parallel brackets. The lower bracket is an arc of a circle and spaced about hip high from the floor.
A training frame for use by a student in learning the art of balancing comprising a pair of U-shaped members, means supporting said frame for movement over a floor, at least one pair of parallel U-shaped brackets secured to the U-shaped members for holding said members in parallel planes normal to the floor, said brackets being mounted with the openings of the U facing in the same direction, the lower one of the brackets being formed as a segment of the circumference of a circle and positioned substantially midway the length of the arms of the U of the members whereby to allow uninhibited movement of the hips of the student.
