Unicycling

Nice! I unicycle too.

Putting a hand on a friend’s shoulder for balance and having them walk along side you while you ride is a one way to start. On the first couple tries you might need the friend to hold on to the back of the seat too for extra help. Bring it with on your next trip to Mammoth and we can après-uni.

New toy:

It has a built in "crotch grab" green handle on the front -- very useful.

That's a non-starter.

Not enough early rise, and too much sidecut for gravel riding.

You will suck at first. My best tip is to embrace the suckage, and enjoy the ride up the ability curve. When you get frustrated, just quit for the day.

And pad up. For God's sakes man, PAD UP!

UNICYCLE ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS (quoted)

Set your saddle ❸ to the right height. Proper seat height depends on personal preference and the type of riding. For freestyle or general road riding, sit on the unicycle and move the seat so that your leg is almost straight when your heel is on the lowest pedal.
