Wooooo! From the article:

Unicyclists are irresistable. Science confirms it!

Dave: Just a question. What use is a unicyle with no seat? And no
pedals!
Mark: To answer a question with a question: What use is a skateboard?
Dave: Skateboards have wheels.
Mark: My wheel has a wheel!

Interesting. I also noticed the difference between male and female
response to me as a unicylist. It is quite similar to the response I
get while riding recumbent bicycle, so I don't think there is any
unique quality in unicycles that triggers this behaviour.

Now we need a study that shows how the sex life of squirrels is
affected if they have to watch poorly executed muni.

His theory doesn't explain why I get as many comments as anyone else.

If it was on R4 it's likely to be available on Listen Again. Any idea
which programme it was on, or what time it was broadcast?

"Today", about 07:15 (I was hiding under the duvet). Couldn't find it
when I looked this morning.

Wassail!
