How Tall Are You?

Well i'm 5'3" and i prefer unicycles like the 'coker'
(http://www.unicycle.co.nz/images/shop/Nimbus36.jpg) and '29ers.'
(http://www.unicycle.au.com/images/shop/Nimbus29erISIS.jpg) I'm more
the speed freak type person and i love it. 😄

I've tried others types but am more happy with the speed
riding/commuting.

182cm and and still growing at the rate of 1cm per month. I'll probably
stop growing soon :P.

I'd say taller is better for trials, especially hopping high. Other
than that it probably doesn't matter?

O and I can't see why being tall is a bad thing for wheel walking.

I am 6'4" and have the issue that most unis are designed for smaller
people. E.g. finding long enough seat posts that still provide some
stability is a problem. Or long neck frames actually are not so long
for my size.

Then lots of skills become more challenging as the center of gravity is
higher compared to smaller riders.

I'm 187cms-ish.
I don't really feel like I suck at unicycling because of that. It
doesn't really help me either

0.00845959596 furlongs (or 5' 7"😉. I think its decent for street as it
keeps me nice and compact however I see it as a disadvantage in muni.
When you are taller you are able to use longer cranks which is
definitely beneficial.
