I decided to drop out of law school about the same time I learned how to
ride. Of course, now I work in land-use planning, but I still have
time to ride, which I would not have had as a lawyer.

I feel your pain! I have four kids myself and between career, family
and always trying to make ends meet I find I never seem to get enough
riding in. With that said, you tend to make time for the things you
enjoy. I've incorporated distance unicycling into my physical workout.
Instead of jogging or cycling I try to ride 5 - 10 miles daily (during
seasonable weather) and 20+ miles on a Saturday. Two of my boys ride
as well so at times I'll spend some quality time with them riding
unicycles around the neighborhood. Late in the evening I'll spend time
on this forum reading and enjoying the riding stories that others tell.

As a Piano technician my work is fairly sedentary, so when I turned 50
last year, I decided to re-start a rigorous-type of an exercise program
that would be both effective and most of all...fun! But I quickly
became bored with running, and mtb-ing wasn't for me either. Then I
found *this* website in Jan. '06 and "rediscovered" unicycling;I
hadn't ridden one since about 1972, so I had basically start allover
again, especially dicovering MUni, which has become my all consuming
exercise/passtime of choice!😄 It has paid off in droves for me, and
introduced me to a whole world of great people that love what I love!🙂
I give this sport all the credit for putting me in the best shape of my
life as well, and I will probably MUni until they take away in a wheel
chair!😎

what has become my passion, I've MUni-ed in so many great places like
CMW, Ojai, Santa Barbara, Simi Valley, Tons of great technical trails
in O.C., Palos Verdes, San Juan Capistrano, and this year will be my
first at Moab Munifest! I also give this sport all the credit for

I just started working full time as a cook. It is great work and I'm
making pretty good money, but with a 50-60 hour work week it pretty
much destroys alot of the perfect time to be riding. I'm getting a
little annoyed at how little riding I'm able to get done now, but it
also means that I should be able to afford to go to the next unicon, I
can afford the parts I want rather than just the ones I need. I enjoy
working at the restaurant I'm at alot!! www.genji.ca and so all in all
its not so bad.

Still a 9 to 5 job would certainly be nice for riding.

I am pretty busy with my family (four kids and one wife) and two jobs.
I don't ride nearly as much as I would like. It is especially hard
during the winter when there is not much sunlight and it is either
raining or snowing outside.

One solution I have found is to ride in some of the nearby parking
garages. They are always dry and always have light. I travel a lot
too, fortunately because my uni is so much smaller than my bike, much
of the time I can take my uni with me and ride here and there.

I also find that riding uni is a great thing to do with your kids.
Even though my oldest is still working on learning to ride her 16" I
take her for rides and she just rides along on her bike.

If you fail at unicycling or unicycle tricks, try again, when you try
again. You will never fail.

I handed in my notice at my last full time employment when my manager
wouldn't let me take holiday to go to BUC. He didn't seem to
understand that unicyling was more important to me than the warehouse
was.

I'm a full-time educator (college prof), and have 3 sons (two of whom
ride). My riding buddy is a teacher. We get to ride once or twice a
week late afternoons--we pretty much only muni--during the school year,
and once on the weekends. We don't have much more time in the summer,
ironically--teachers don't have the summers off, as much as people try
to perpetuate that myth. While I'd love to ride more often, I love my
job, too, and having less time to ride makes the time I do have that
much sweeter.

You teach at Chico St. PARTY SCHOOL! Sorry, couldn't resist.

I don't think unicycling was in any way associated with career choice
for me (Chemist) but certainly, MUni has gone hand in hand with the
choice of where to live (Boulder, CO). I can't imagine not living
somewhere close to a trail.
