Greetings unipeople. Just bought myself a Nimbus 36" and I find the
thing quite ungainly to handle inside the house. So I wonder if someone
has designed a stand where you can let your Buni (Big uni) rest in an
upright position between rides.

I use a pair of Saris WheelArch bicycle stands for my 29er and 36er.
The wheelarch isn't designed for such big wheels, but on the other hand
it *is* designed to hold up a whole bicycle. I find that in practice,
my big wheels are fine on it, although it does put some pressure on the
spokes which I guess could cause some problems eventually.

Dave: Just a question. What use is a unicyle with no seat? And no
pedals!
Mark: To answer a question with a question: What use is a skateboard?
Dave: Skateboards have wheels.
Mark: My wheel has a wheel!

My preferred way to store my unicycles is to hang them by the handle
from screw in hooks 'like these' (http://tinyurl.com/3dlqkj) screwed
into a ceiling joist.

How high up on the 36"-wheel does it reach?

One of the first lessons I learned about big-wheel unicycles is that
they're not supposed to stand up when you aren't riding them. The best
way to park one (when out riding, for example) is to lean it against a
wall with the seat on the ground. Try to balance the seat on top and it
will end up with the seat on the ground by the time you come back
anyway!

At home mine hang on bike hooks in the ceiling (garage). You might need
an extra-fat hook for a Coker or 3.0 MUni. Most other tires seem to fit
standard bike hooks just fine. For easy in-house parking, I'd still
recommend leaving the seat down, or creating something on the wall to
hook the seat on.

I see you, and raise you 2!:p:p:p:p

(Btw, I take that as a compliment! But I'm not yet at the Kris Holm
insanity level of riding [carfree] on a skinny armrail 100 feet above
gound! Translation: Just give me time lol!)
