View Full Version : winter slippery dark scary time

Someone on another thread mentioned that they can't wait for summer and
that brought the following to my mind. It's midsummer where I am and
I'm still no good, but at least I have enough daylight to find dry level
parking lots on which to practice. But winter in the great northeast
comes early and hits hard. In addition to the abundant snowfall, the
sun doesn't rise until I'm on the way to work and goes down before I get
home. I thought I could uni during lunch break once the winter comes,
but I tried that today on a whim, and it took me an hour from start to
finish (what with applying all my padding, walking out to the parking
lot, unpadding myself afterwards, walking back to work...) I only get a
half-hour for lunch; I can't do that all winter long. My basement is
way too small to uni in. Am I doomed to 5 - 6 months of unicycling only
on weekends? Do school administrators allow people to uni in their
gymnasiums after hours? Should I sneak into the mall and risk arrest??
HELP!!

It's amzing how much you can learn in a driveway 20 feet long covered in
snow. I get an hour for lunch, so I can uni around our parking lot.
Even just riding weekends you can improve lots. I don't know about the
gyms, but I'm guessing you'd have to use a tire that is
non-skid-marking... I assume freestyle tires would be nonskid, but I
dunno for sure... My campus gym isn't even happy about black souled
sneakers :(
Don't worry about winter, it's very doable :)

Never kick a unicyclist in the groin... it will only make them grow
stronger...
