Well, for christmas I got a unicycle and I thought was going to start getting into it but I spent 2g's on a freeride bike. It's been sitting next to my wall for a few months now. I've played with it some, but I really have no time to practice and thats what everyone says you need.

You can't tour on a unicycle, unless you work with a Circus.

I ride a Summit 24" with a few minor changes to make it more reliable. We have a few customers who are clowns that ride some real old Schwinn 20s and I have one customer we set up a 36" for, I could not ride it, to fast and scary.

Haven't thought about riding my old uni in a long time. Just pulled it out, a Schwinn 20", and I need a new tire. Think I'll try to pick one up and take it out for a spin. Back in '74-'76 I used to ride it 1 mile to school each day. It was better than walking, but you should have seen the looks I got with a gym bag in one hand and a trumpet case in the other. The longest I think I rode it is in the '76 parade, had to circle forever waiting for the bands and all. It was a 2.5 mile route, but we must have put on 5 or more. How do I mount a cycle computer on a uni??
My local bike club is going to start having a few "ice cream rides", 2-5 miles at 6-10 mph. For families of the club, young kids included. Nothing more than a social with food. After I see how fast I can go on it I'll try it on one of the rides.
