  3. 2.5 miles. rain or shine on my muni to my JC. Fastest time: 25 min, but
    I usually challenge myself along the way, w/ UPD's and take 45-50 min.

    Sometimes I take my 20.

    Ride everywhere and never just ride anywhere. If you can ride where you
    are going within a hour, do it, and if you can do a trick 50-75% of the
    time do it along the way.
    Parafrasing a pro skater when asked for advise to kids who wanted to
    get much better and maybee turn pro one day.

  4. i rode mostly every day that weather permitted. I would much rather ride
    or walk to school than drive.

    I rode my 29er.
    I live about 2 miles away and it would take about 15-20 mins.

  5. I rode my 24" lx and my 20" dx to my classes all year (Northern Illinois
    University) worked great. Can't wait until classes start back up, now
    that I can ride my coker to them!

  6. I rode to school all 4 years of highschool. which also happens to be the
    number of unicycles i went through. Every day, through ice, snow and
    sunshine. all on a 20 incher. Now i ride to work. Be sure to watch out
    for those pesky assistant principles, they never seem to understand the
    coolness of the unicycle. And keep it at your side at all times.

    bike rack = broken or stolen unicycle

  7. yes definateley find a very safe spot to leave it, like in your
    favourite teachers classroom, at administration, or somewhere you know
    there will be an adult nearby all day, or somewhere where people cannot
    access the unicycle, like in a locked room.

    I know why Tomsey is so good at backs and why Shaun owns at normal
    flips.
    It has to do with the gravitational pull. Like how the toilet flushes
    in the opposite direction down there. Well its easier down there to
    flip backwards then forwards

  10. I rode my 20" to my bus stop every day I could (about a half mile) then
    when i got off my bus I rode from the stop to school(another half mile)
    I would ride my coker all the way to school (about a 15 minute cars
    trip on the highway) but I would have to ride along the highway and it
    would take almost an hour to get there...

  15. Well i rode to school once in hail because the school bus took too long
    to come.

    So riding a 20" in hail proved quite a challenge. A challenge i hope i
    will do again someday. Even though i don't go to school no more. 😄 😄

  16. well i used to ride to school a bit.

    i live about 9km away (thats like 6 miles) and i could do it on my 24
    in about 50 minutes.

    then i started using my coker and doing the same distance in about half
    an hour.

    Sorry to hear that lil rockmelon. 🙁 But where i live, there's alot of
    hills and stuff like that. Which is where a coker is ideal. But i don't
    have my coker no more. So yeah. 😄
