I am 55 years old and 220 pounds (100 kilos) and woke up one morning and decided to learn to ride a unicycle. Bought one off the internet 2 months a ago and fell off it a lot. Followed the hold onto the wall strategy which was conservative and slow but now I can ride 50 meters before I get tired (use my legs too much and dont put enough weight on the saddle). My advice to big old people, wear a pillow on your backside and try not to fall off backwards. Mabey I just have slow reflexes and cant get my feet off the pedal fast enough. Now am learning to idle which seems even harder but it is coming. Have spent about 30 hours total learning and it is so satisfying. It feels like flying and it is addictive.
