Unicycling day

Post by HomicidalBarber »

I freakin road my unicycle to school today. Its only about 3.2 miles but my thighs and *cough* between or sore as heck. Anyone else into uncycling? I have wanted to ride to school forever and since tomorrow is my last day I figured I had to do it today. Only two crashes so I consider it successful.

That's kool, I've sometimes considered learning how to ride but just can't see my self doing it.

A question: would you consider the unicycle as a hobby or both a hobby and practical mode of transportation? (sorry that may sound dumb but I know nothing about them. At all. :oops:)

I got a unicycle for Christmas 2 years ago, but results haven't been that great...

Some people consider it transportation but it is extremely painful until you have really gotten used to it, I still get sore between the thighs.

I wanna take up unicycling. It's a cool talent. And I'll learn to play keytar at the same time.

Yay, unicycling! My last real ride (about 1 1/2 weeks ago) was about 15 miles. Right now I'm working on getting more hight into my hops so I can start doing tricks.

I would love to get into it. But I already have three bicycles, so it would be a bit selfish to have another wheel lying around. That and no money.

Did anybody see that guy on Ripley's that who could ride his unicycle on the edge of a mountain, even hop over crevasses! It was crazy. He used it to get to school everyday, just like walking.

I don't really have the balance skills for a unicycle. :(

But I want to get a road bicycle and add things like saddlebags and a storage rack to it for rides. (My mountain bike rides nice, but its knobby tires make a lot of road noise and they have a lot of rolling resistence. Plus its brakes kind of suck... fun. :P) Otherwise I'd have to wear a backpack to hold my map and phone and beef jerky and crackers and tools and other such necessities. I think I'll take a gander at the Salvation Army when I can and get one to fix up. I need a project. :P
