Olympic monowheel bicycles for sale

Now you can get your grubby little paws on one of those interesting looking but no doubt hard to steer monowheel bikes from the Olympics this year.

The monowheels, called Monovelo (which we think is Chinese for "Monowheel"), will set you back about $1700.  But no doubt they are collectible, since these are the actual bikes that were used in the ceremonies.   No word if the LED lights are included, so Caveat Emptor if you are considering a purchase based on the visual aesthetics, other than the visual treat that you would be riding around in one freakishly big bicycle wheel.
