On Saturday I had my longest trip on my unicycle from home to the center of town. I rode through town and was about to pass a lady with a dog and a little child in a stroller when she started running she didn’t see me and she slowed down and I was able to pass her. My total distance was 6 km I was real sweat when I came home. My average speed was slow just a little faster then walking speed. I spoke with several persons I meet and some had some entertainment.
The reason I mentioned this is that I found out unicyling is very good training. You don’t have to train for a long time and you get a great work out. Going down hill on an ordinary bike you can relax but on a unicycle you have to use your leg muscles as brakes.
There are of course some down sides also the seat is not very comfortable and there is a longer learning curve then on a Sofrider. You can also get injured but so far I landed on my feet I have used crutches to help support if I loose balance. I am now able to ride about a 1 km without stopping. Still on the learning stage but improving.
Without learning to ride a Sofrider I don’t think I would have started off on a unicycle. Children learn faster but adults can also learn.
