  • Easy rider? This unique motorized unicycle was created by students at the Ashtonbee campus of Centennial College in Scarborough. Only problem is, no one has yet learned to ride it. The Uno Guzzi was one of dozens of exhibits at the college's Wheels and Wings exposition, sponsored by The Saturday Star's Wheels section, which seeks to encourage high school students to consider careers in the automotive and aeronautics fields. Yesterday, nearly 5,000 students from as far afield as Windsor and Ottawa visited. The show is open today from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is free.
