Do you have my missing unicycle?

I seem to be missing a unicycle and I think I lent it to a Tripleshotter, but I'm not exactly sure who.
This is like lending a favourite book to a friend but you can't remember which friend you lent it to.
Full disclosure: I have three unicycles, a 28 incher, a 24 incher, and a 16 incher. It's the tiny one, the 16 I seem to be missing. Normally a missing unicycle would go unnoticed around here but I now have both my kids competing this summer to see who will learn to ride a unicycle first so I need the little'un back. Anyways, if I lent you my unicycle can you let me know, off list, and we can arrange for you to return it?

I have a basically unused 20 incher that I would love to see in a good home. Free.

Still haven't found the missing unicycle, but thanks to Dave I have a replacement one.
Score so far: Kid #2 (11 yrs old) could master the uni in 3 days.
Kid #1 (14, yrs old) took a little longer, 6 days. Juggling is next. Then I gotta build me a tightrope...
I reckon my kids won't starve as adults if they can master some circus skills.

I told my son he's the next Kris Holm (I hope not) the master crazy unicylist from North Van.
Check out this little bit of riding --fast forward to around 2:20 where he does the Burrard Street Bridge (but not in the bike lane). In the words of one blogger: "It takes twice the man to ride half the bike."
