A 24" wheel with the Hookworm tire is a good for riding around town on
sidewalks. The 24" wheel is small enough that the unicycle is
maneuverable enough to be able to ride on sidewalks among pedestrians.
When riding among pedestrians maneuverability is key. Bigger wheels
like a 29er or Coker are not good in crowds.

The 24" wheel with Hookworm tire is also good for having fun on during
the ride. You can hop up curbs, roll up curbs, roll down steps, ride
along skinnies like retaining walls, and play on other urban obstacles.
The fatter Hookworm tire makes city riding more fun. The fatter tire
gives you more coosh and it's not going to bottom out when doing things
like rolling up curbs or riding down stairs.

The 24" is also small enough that you can use it for developing some
freestyle skills if you choose.

The 24" is not the best for longer rides on open roads. But you want to
ride around town rather than do 10 mile plus rides.
