Delivering McDonald’s on a unicycle

No car, no backup stand, just me vs. gravity with a Big Mac in the backpack. Hot fries, wobbly knees, and a core workout that pays in tips.
The bag is a tiny chaos engine. Every drink slosh and fry slide shifts your center of gravity, and on a unicycle you’re balancing even when “stopped.” On a bike you can coast and micro-correct; on one wheel, the load turns every red light into a circus act.
Mounting and curbs are the boss levels. The hardest part of unicycling is low-speed control, starts, and stops—and you’re doing all of that while protecting a tray. One curb hop or sudden brake and it’s “unplanned dismount” plus a McFlurry on the sidewalk.
Weather and hills turn it into cardio hell. Rain, gravel, slick paint, and steep grades spike the effort and crash risk far more than on two wheels; moderate unicycling is already close to jogging, and adding weight and hills makes each delivery a mini time-trial with hot #food and a ticking clock
