learn to ride a unicycle

I’d love to develop the balance needed to ride a unicycle – would be easier to get one on the train anyway!!!

at my house, I have a narrow hallway that I’ve been practicing in…I only practice in short bursts because it gets hot and I usually don’t have a lot of time. I should have bought the unicycle in the winter! then my house would be freezing and I could practice lots haha

got the unicycle, I’ve been practicing it in the hallway, so far, no bruises!

I Bought a unicycle off amazon today, I’m going to go pick up a helmet and some safety pads after work. I have no idea how hard it will be to learn, but we’ll see!

I just found out that my grandmother has my uncle’s old unicycle in her garage. I’m definitely bringing that thing home with me the next time I go up there.

I bought a unicycle in 2001 and never learnt how to ride it. I tried a few times but never even got going – although my house mate could go a few metres. It’s now gathering dust in my parents loft, so I need to get it down, reinflate the tyres, prepare myself to fall off many, many times and just dedicate a few weekends of my life to it. It would be sad if that poor unicycle never got ridden!

I’m getting one for Christmas, and I will try as hard as I can to master it. :)

I was given one as a christmas present.

I learned by pushing a wheelie bin down the street.

I destroyed a pair of trousers by falling off it.

I broke my hand when I cycled into a lamp post. I then sat thru an hour long lecture and then unicycled to hospital.

In June 2008 I unicycled 111 miles across England to raise £2800 for the Parkinsons Disease Society

i haven’t had time to make much progress on the uni this summer so idk if it would be worth it to drag to school in a week. juggling is so much easier to transport.

The biggest difficulty in learning to unicycle is keeping up the motivation. Constantly falling off the thing when it seems physically impossible is just a teeny bit demoralising. I just need more confidence – I’m so worried about falling off the thing that I actually do fall off it in the end because I’m thinking about it. =S
