Unicycle
I'm still riding the same unicycle I got in 3rd grade. I want get one with a larger wheel...thinking 24" or 26". I mainly ride in parades and around the neighborhood with my kids. I'm also thinking of doing a 25-mile road ride on it. Any suggestions on the wheel size I should get?
I've been told to post in this section to catch the attention of Unigeezer.

I liked my 24" but that's all I ever knew (I have never had much more than parking-lot-spins on 20-inchers). It seemed to be a good compromise of maneuverability and covering ground. 26" would have been nice for those 5+ mile rides I used to do, though.
Now, go chat with Unigeezer, who knows far more than I.

24" and 26" with fat tire = MUNI
29" and 36" = Road.
25 miles on a uni is a ton harder than by bike... and having a 29 or 36 would make it a hell of a lot easier than 24 or 26.
Likewise, big wheels don't make good MUNIs.
