How unicycling affects environment?

You forget the pieces of brick that fall off walls when you
crank/pedalgrab them! The splinters of wood flying around when you
started unicycling and that jump on a parkbench failed. The red stains
on stairsets you failed to clear, and ofcourse the chaos you can invoke
on traffic by simply riding by...

maybe you should also remark about how much better it is for the
environment...it seems like your just anothe mountain biker complaining
about "how all them damn unicyclists are screwing up the trails".

Not unicycling specific, but when a trail is made it apparently isolates
plant and animals habitats because they just won't cross them. I guess
the animals and insects, etc feel too vulnerable or something. If I'm
wrong, please tell me because I'd love to meet the park ranger guy out
on the trail who told me this and set him straight. 🙂

It's obviously not true that trails isolate habitat, because animals
make trails of their own. There might be some animals which are less
likely to cross a human-made trail, but even that seems a little
unrealistic. And in the UK, the flora and fauna are so limited anyway,
that there's really not much argument to be made there. It might be
more of an issue in areas which have more natural wildlife.

maybe its because human made trails are really wide, so its more of an
open space, and animals don't like open spaces. or maybe human trails
smell suspiciously like humans, and animals think humans stink, they
don't like our smell.
