Great explanation. As a keen rider of both one and two wheelers, there are a few advantages of a unicycle over a bicycle. A unicycle gives you an all over workout...you work pretty much every muscle...great for core strength. It's a great conversation starter; don't ride a unicycle if you don't like attention from strangers! Embrace the fact that it's a bit silly... people will laugh at you, so go with it and enjoy the fact that you've cheered people up. The most boring routes for a bicycle can be a new challenge on a uni. Kerbs become obstacles to be conquered, not an inconvenience. Finally...and most importantly, it's good for your mind. Once past the frustration of learning to ride it, riding a unicycle demands concentration. This makes you forget life's silly irritations. I've read that it also helps your spatial awareness and mental health. It's like meditation...only it's meditation whilst on a balance ball, doing a wheelie on a bike with no brakes!

Hey man. I relate. Taught myself to ride a couple years ago at 59. Took about a month of blood sweat and tears before I could go 100yds. Almost quit trying a few times. Had a nice golf ball on my elbow from falling backwards. A few times I got stuck in the 12 o'clock 6 o'clock position. Got raked down the back of my calves by the pedals. I took some lumps for sure. But now I can ride and I'm proud of myself it was not easy. Peace. Steve

I was going to learn this summer but I have no balance and my anxiety and shame got the better of me but since it's still warm outside I'll start going during the weekends. Wish me luck! Edit: if anybody was wondering I actually did learn to ride a bicycle 😁.

@JahkiBoy

I can relate to this video. When I was 14, I saw one hanging in my local bicycle shop for $120 and my brother (2 years younger) and I thought it was our next odd rideable (we both were dropping in on half pipes on RipSticks long before we did so on skateboards and at 7 had set some stupidly high personal time, jump count and distance records on pogo sticks.) We went in on it together and within three days, had graduated from a rope swing in a tree, to hand rails to open riding. We both rode that thing for a solid year before the seat broke. With a replacement costing $100 for unknown reasons, we learned to mess around on it by just holding the half a seat and just standing on the pedals. Over the last 15 years it's floating from storage unit, to garage to storage unit with our parents. Now I've been driving 18 wheelers in the US for 5 years. I've utilized two OneWheels for primary transportation while on the road. I've worn out three battery packs, eight tires, four sets of bearings and have accumulated over 3,700 miles (5,950 km) between them. Unfortunately I have also broken my left clavicle, right wrist, have a dent in the skin on my right leg from catching a jagged pothole on my way down once. It bit me. My brother has ten screws and two titanium plates that held the two halves of his radius together after he fell into a curb, snapping it in half. After 400 miles, hundreds of dollars in tires, inner tubes, replacement trucks and a second $150 remote, the battery pack in my carbon fiber Evolve GTR left me stranded twice at 80% charge before failing completely. If I could fit a full sized bicycle on my truck, I'd be able to fit my motorcycle on it. Perhaps though, I may fit half a bicycle. With the outrageous price of all these PEVs, repairs and reliability issues, I believe that it is time to return to first principles. Pedals fixed to a solid crank, seat, one wheel. Zero complexities, zero redundancies. I want to be able to ride from Salinas, California to the beach, 12 miles (20km). Currently looking at the Nimbus Hatchet 29 to start, then maybe a big wheel for long distance cruises. Last note about riding a unicycle in high-school. The jocks usually would all start singing the Circus tune whenever I'd get near them 🎶Duh-na NA-na-NA-na-NA NA na-na🎶 🎶Duh-na NA-na-NA-na-NA NA na-na🎶 Lastly, that sweet little 20" was never chained up outside, as it fit in my locker

Freshman year in high school. I met a kid named Mike. I went to the elementary school 50 feet from my house to ride my bike. There was Mike with his unicycle. He said would you like to try? Well after weeks of trying for a hour or so after school daily I started riding farther from the fence. I got better and better. I got a job and bought my schwinn unicycle. We went everywhere on those thing. Bunny hopped curbs, down two steps then more. Jumping as far as we could into sandboxes at the park, drifting on muddy canal banks after a good rain. I eventually taught myself to ride one footed by just taking weight of of one foot. Then lifting off the pedal for a second. Then a quarter revolution and so on. We still have those original schwinn unicycle. I’m 57 now and I get on it for about 5 minutes per year. My cousin tells my kids, “ your dad was the shit on the unicycle”!

I personally use unicycle as my main transportation method inside the city when i need to go 3km or shorter distances. It's fun and even more practicle than bikes because you can carry it with you on public transportation or basically anywhere, never needed to tie it and be afraid of it being stolen. It's great! (Btw I upgraded to a 26" wheel to ride faster)

My dad can ride pretty well since he used to ride in high-school and do tricks. After he broke his arm skateboarding, my grandma made him stop skateboarding and he decided to find another form of transportation that he could do tricks on... hence (unicycling). Once he switched, his friend's moms heard about the broken arm story and made their child try unicycling. It became the thing that gave him a group of friends again since his skateboarding was no longer there. To this day, my 4 siblings and I can ride the unicycle. Since we live on the coast of San Diego, we go on bike rides 1-2 times a week on the beach and my dad refuses to use anything but his unicycle. Side note: he also has those bikers padded shorts.

I taught myself how to ride one in 11th grade and rode it with a helmet up until one fateful afternoon when I got home from school which landed me in the emergency room the day after the seat tapped me below the belt then blacked out in the bathroom of the library that’s in the city that I live in. If anyone is gonna learn how to ride it make sure to wear the proper ppe such as a helmet, a cup, shin guards and elbow pads because getting injuries from it aren’t fun. Always be safe with everything that you do in general.

I bought a unicycle after a breakup to give me something to put my time into and to take my mind off the bs. It gave me something to focus on instead of all the negativity that comes with a bad breakup of a relationship that was many years of your life. I still have it to this day and hardly ever ride it now but it was fun to learn and the first time I went a long distance without falling or using anything to help with balance was very exciting.

Been riding for about 8 years. Though the last I'd say 3 years I haven't been able to use my two bikes. Decided to get back into riding my 20" freestyle. It sat outside for all that time I didn't use it. Now it's looking a bit rusty on the frame, a bit on the wheels rim. Saddle looks weathered. Brought it to a small bike repair shop today for a quick look over. Bike preforms just fine like when new, but my stamina clearly has gone down since my last sessions on it. I barely made it the two blocks from the shop to my driveway and I could already feel my legs, getting sore. And my breathing definitely went up. Still enjoyable and I have retained the muscle memory to ride.

Haha like your style and delivery. Message was good too. Different. I’m 1 week into learning. And actually up early because my hip woke me. Dominant side. it’s sore AF, and got me thinking, have I got arthritis? The way you’ve described the reality of what physically has to happen when one sits on the seat kind of cleared up why it’s squawking at me this morning. So I suppose that answers why one person would even watch this video Their bio is so dire they cannot sleep AND your vid popped up on my KZbin feed, which I clicked on because the title particularly interested me at this moment. Your vid turned out to be different than what I expected. Are you a Lakers fan? I felt like you were delivering Kobe Bryant’s take on unicycling. By the way, that’s one thing you didn’t mention. Why some ppl unicycle. To compete in basketball. I’ll have to KZbin that next. THSNKS

But since a unicycle only has have the number of wheels of a bicycle, per definition of math this means that it has to be half as hard to ride as well... You know because...math!

i got a unicycle like 2 months ago and its all i use for transport now because my bike was stolen but really i like it more than a bike cause with a bike u aint doing anything but pedaling with the unicycle u are always falling so you have to balance yourself whilst looking around you as well as moving forward and turning and in my opinion on a unicycle u have more control cause your body does the slowing down not breaks and your body does the turning not the handle bars

This video worried me. I learned either way. He doesn't have his unicycle tuned. His seat is too low so it hurts. At the right height, it doesn't hurt until about 15 minutes and you should have unlimited endurance. The tilt on the saddle can allow you to relax more, and go a lot faster. I think it's perfect because I can enjoy the scenery at just the right pace. I also quickly moved up to giraffe and the view is amazing 😍

If you’re into skateboard or bmx types sports, where you continuously learn new tricks, unicycling is amazing. It is surprisingly good for those types of tricks, and has other sub types, such as trials or mountains cycling.

You don’t need the wall to learn. Prop the wheel on a curb and launch after lightly bouncing one foot from the ground to get a feel for the balance point. Keep launching until the distance increases. The wall makes it harder to focus on the balancing muscles you need to use for actual riding.
