I bought a unicycle!

[gnarwhal]

I bought a unicycle, after seeing those chaps and chapesses on them a couple of weeks ago in the woods i decided i couldn''t live without one. So i orderedone from the internet and it arrived sadly the day after i sprained my ankle really badly but once i'm better i'm going to learn how to ride the thing and see if i can maybe commute to work on it. :D

Cool!

I see a You Tube video in the making. :) I think it's so neat how people can balance on one wheel--and do it on a mtb trail. :cool:

[Tri Girl]

Sounds really cool! I admire people with such balance! :)
I, however, have trouble balancing on two perfectly good wheels. I'd make a good youtube video for sure: I'd show you how to fall and break every bone in your body on a unicycle.;)

When you get out on it, you have to post some pictures so we can see you riding it. :) Heal quickly!

Good luck!!

I told my hubby that if I ever come across one on a yard sale or something, I'm getting it. I'd like to learn, but making an investment in a new activity like that isn't an option for me right now.

They say it takes about 14 hours to learn how to ride in a straight line.

I look forward to hearing reports of your progress!! Speedy recovery!! And it seems as though no pad is too much when learning how to unicycle. :D The people riding at the national convention/championships last summer all had shin guards, wrist guards, helmets, etc.

Have fun!

Cool, have fun!

I have one, got it for Christmas a year and a half ago, still learning (I haven't put much time into it). :o

That is so cool. I see unicycles occasionally -- looks like fun. Good luck with the ankle. I can't wait to hear about your adventures.

How fun!!!

There was an article in Outdoor magazine about a unicyclist, very intriguing.

I'm excited to hear how you like it! :D (Do I need to remind you to still wear a helmet?)

I used to ride one as a kid. I have actually toyed with the idea of getting one. Update us on the ride!
