Holy ****, I see a few roadie one wheelers around here and they're
bigger dweebs than the 'bent riders, it doesn't help that it looks
they're constantly playing with their junk when they're holding the
handle on their seats.

But, damn, who cares with that guy. That's some sick ****.

Why are they dweebs?

Do you wear bikes shorts? Do you think bike shorts don't look dweebish?

For the record, I used to be a pretty hardcore road and MTBer. Then I tried
and gradually learned how to ride one wheel. Now I ride road and mountain
unicycles. Today I rode a 6 mile snowy trail ride in 15 degree weather with
my dog Ruthie.

I've even entered some bike races on a unicycle. My uni race writeups:

That's Kris Holm, one of the best. He owns a company that makes the best
stock unis out there. www.krisholm.com There's some more pics and flicks
of his riding at his site, as well as his product line.

All I can say is try it, it's REALLY fun and an incredible workout.
Combines a weightless feeling with a spinning class (no coasting, remember)
and a core workout that would blow you away if it wasn't so damn fun.

That's cool, I haven't seen anyone riding off-road around here, the
ones I do see here are wearing knickers, they have those little
rearview mirrors attached to the their helmets, and they generally
look geekier than the nerds riding their dorky 'bents up and down the
2 mile long Chandler bike path.

If I ran into Kris Holm on a trail around here I'd probably bow down
and worship at the alter of the One Wheeled God.

Glad you're open-minded about mountain unis (munis). I've only ever heard
positive comments from bikers when I'm riding, be it road or trail.

Give those geeks a break. I don't know about 'bents, but the uni-riders
have skilz. 8-]

BTW - they need those little mirrors! Remember, you steer with your core
muscles so it's almost impossible to turn around to see what's behind you on
a unicycle.

What a thoughtful question. Yes, two.

Compare a comfy, soft uni seat where I sit straight up, to a long-nosed bike
seat on which you actually lean forward. In both cases, with a big drop, we
put our weight on the pedals, not the seat right? Or do you not ride drops
on your bike?

Do you have children?

Nothing over curb height and even then I walk it down some of the larger
curbs because I always scrape my bottom bracket on them.

That's why I don't juggle on my unicycle - I don't have the balls.

I have met Kris Holm on several occasions, he is definitely one of the
coolest guys in the bike biz, the godfather of mountain uni.

I started my Muni experience this past weekend. Well, I started riding
off the bike path and onto the grass, and for a unicyclist whose been
riding 5 weeks now, that is enough.

Unicycling is so much fun it should be illegal. It will not replace long
mountain bike rides in SW Colorado, but I imagine I will continue to
ride it through the summer. Look for me on the practice loop in Moab in
fall ... on one wheel.

Great job, Craig. You're hooked, I can tell! The weightless feeling of
riding a uni is intense and addictive. Check out www.unicyclist.com for all
the advice and discussion on the subject you could possibly need.

I read that forum all the time, but have not had anything worthwhile to add.
