  1. While my mtn bike was in the shop, I bought a KH Freeride to pass the
    time. Two weeks on the Muni and I'm not sure I want the bike back!!!
    Spent almost 7 hours on it this weekend including 3 with Terrybigwheel
    in Woods Canyon above Laguna. He's very inspiration to try stuff and
    brings his video camera for that "Kodac Courage"!!
    Everyone we meet is very amused and interested including Lisa, a lovely
    pro downhill mtn biker looking for something to train on to relieve
    boredom. We think she might be a convert.
    Just so you know, Terrybigwheel is a nut!! As we were rolling along,
    we saw a 3 foot rattle snake laying in the road. So we stop to check
    him out and Terry walks over and picks him up by the tail, ala
    Crocodile Hunter! I was stunned and the snake was [censored]. He gently
    tossed the snake in the bushes so he wouldn't get run over.
    Anyhow, lovin' the Muni!

    The funny thing is, anyone who can ride a unicycle and also mountain
    bikes will at some point taste MUni and never go back to two wheels
    again.😄

  6. I don't know that I'll never mountain bike again, but the thing I love
    about muni in relation to mountain biking is that muni distills the
    technical and endurance aspects that make mountain biking so much fun
    while displacing the speed aspect that makes mountain biking so
    dangerous.

  7. Compared to a mtn bike, the Muni is cheap!! I paid close to that just
    for my pedals on the bike. I think good quality sports equipment is
    worth the money for the joy and safety.

  8. $500 for pedals?! Are they really 5 times more joyous and safe than
    $100 pedals? 😉

  9. Nice! I barely ride my bike like at all because unicycling is so much
    better in my opinion. I might maybe go 20 miles on my bike each year
    now when i used to ride to the park and stuff but now it's all about my
    unicycle.🙂 🙂

  10. No, but they are titanium and only 190 grams. Since I don't have kids
    to share my toy money with and don't gamble or chase women(anymore) I
    guess my vice is nice sports equipment. It's not like yachting or
    airplanes. And someone is out there spend $1800 on Unis! I've seen
    the ads.

  11. Alas, I still ride my mtn bike sometimes. Went last Friday with my
    friend Josh, who does not uni (yet, I'm working on getting him to). On
    the trail would not have been so bad, but the ride to the trail would
    have taken a long long time. Sometimes for other's sake, you have to
    take 2 wheels.

    Of course, we found a new trail, and now I'm dying to get the muni out
    on it 😄

    Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total
    obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and
    through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see
    its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will
    remain.

    OK, you got me.:eek:

    But, i'm sure there are a ton of mountain bikers that don't turn back
    once they hit the trails on there MUni.

    I won't use mine unless I have no choice.

    the speed of mtn. biking is what makes me keep doing it, there isnt
    anything quite like it. but since i have started to muni, i must admit
    that i muni more than bike.
