India Today
A video of a man riding a unicycle through busy traffic in Bengaluru has triggered a debate on road safety.
A man riding a unicycle through busy traffic on a road in Bengaluru roads has left commuters divided after a short video of the sight went viral on social media.
The 29-second clip, shared by Karnataka Portfolio on X, shows the man navigating traffic on a unicycle. Some viewers found the stunt impressive, while others flagged concerns about safety.
In the caption accompanying the video, Karnataka Portfolio cautioned that riding a unicycle on public roads is not a safe practice, especially in a city like Bengaluru, where traffic conditions can be unpredictable.
“Bengaluru roads are known for sudden potholes, uneven surfaces, and unpredictable vehicle movement. A minor loss of balance or an unexpected obstacle could lead to serious accidents, not only endangering the rider but also posing a risk to other motorists and pedestrians,” Karnataka Portfolio said in the caption of the post.

The US-Israel war was meant to decapitate Iran's hardline leadership, but the killing of the "pragmatic" Ali Larijani might have done the opposite. By eliminating consensus-builder Larijani, the Israelis might have removed any scope of talks and pushed Iran into deeper hardline control. This could be a ploy to keep the war going.
