  1. 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.

  3. 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!

  4. 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?

  6. 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.
