Unicycles

[Harpoetta]

My sister has a Torker, also. She wanted a unicycle when she was 12, so we got her one for her 13th b-day. She learned how to ride the thing around the block non stop in about 2 weeks. A week or 2 later, she was juggling clubs and gong around the block.

I, on the other hand, can only get about 10 ft on a unicycle, and that's with a guy on each arm.

What a great line to pick up guys. I need help riding my unicycle. Wish I'd thought of that one back when I was looking to meet guys.

Gee, Katie. You say that like it's a bad thing for you....

What's the most common size for adult unicycles? Looking on Amazon, seems like 24" is the largest they sell. Is that about right for an adult uni?

If I remember reading, the 20" are said by some to be easier to learn on (but I never found out why) and then transition to the 24" wheels. Most people don't have the desire or excess cash to buy 2 or 3 unicycles in different sizes. The 24" is the most common size for adults. We need Oki to come back on and answer this question, he is the real unicycle man.

Depends on how tall you are, but generally speaking a 20" is easier than a 24" because it lowers your center of gravity...or something. :O) From what I understand, there's not all that much difference. I'm 6' and I ride a 24".

That all depends on who the guys are, Scruffy.

If you're planning on using the unicycle in your act, best to get a smaller diameter; You won't need to cover so much ground while you idle, or rock, in place - best for confined areas, such as stages and the like.
