today i was happily riding downtown and having a great time in the newly warm weather when ....
my stupid pedal comes loose!!!! i had to walk it for about a quarter of a mile until i could sit down to try and screw it back on with my fingers (it wouldn't go all the way in, of course) and about every 30 feet after that i'd have to do the same thing! grrr. i need to find a wrench.
i'm now covered in grease and am very frustrated.

you're right! the seat was on backwards! only problem is the bolt really sucks so i'm going to wait to get a better wrench or i'll round off the nut.

It's not a good idea to ride your unicycle with a loose component in the powertrain such as a crank or pedal. Unless these parts are all mated to the hub with a tight connection, you'll rub these parts together at an off-angle, which can grind away metal. The end result: your pedal may come loose much more often, or your crank will have a permanent "wobble"... not good!

So, is the seat on backwards or was the wheel installed backwards? There should be some sort of a split in the seat tube where the seat post is installed. This is the back of the frame. The quick release or seat bolt that closes the seat clamp should be at the back and the back of the seat should be pointing to the back of the frame. Then, make sure the crank arms are on the -correct- side of the uni.
