I'd be very interested to find out about that.

It was a friend of mine who went to Harvey Mudd who taught me how to ride. His campus was a little too big to walk and a little to small to ride bicycles, so many, many students rode skateboards and unicycles to get from class to class. I haven't ridden much since graduate school, but a few years ago I had a grad student who got a 29" unicycle and helped me ride it. It was a lot harder to start than a 20" unicycle but boy could it fly. It even has a brake.

Cheers,
Charles
