A unicycle is a bicycle with only one wheel. The "uni" at the start of the word means one, just like the "bi" on bicycle means two, and the "tri" on tricycle means three.
Because unicycles only have one wheel they are hard to ride and hard to steer, and they are not seen very often outside of circuses.
