My daughter unicycles to school every day, and my landlord keeps saying she must be the only person in England doing that. I'm not convinced--anybody other kids lucky enough to live close enough to school that they unicycle in?
I know lots of us old people (read: people with jobs) commute to work, but lets just count the unemployed youngsters for now.
Anyone?
P.S. She's 11, it's about 0.35 miles, it's faster than walking, and her classmates seem to accept it just fine.
I learnt to uni because of some smug kid a couple of years below me who used to ride to school. he was about 14, and it was only a few hundred yards along a pavement. I think he used to get quite alot of abuse, mostly from kids from other schools on the same road as mine.
Hey Bruce, We've got lots of kids that learn to unicycle at CirKids, around 11-12 years old, but I dont know any that unicycle to school. I'd worry that their unicycle would get stolen / vandelized?
if memory serves right there was a post a while ago about nathan hoover commuting with his kid to school. I'll see if i can find it

Well, boys and girls, this is what separates us from the gods; Kris goes riding and has to worry about landing on naked ladies - you and I have to watch we don't land in dog [censored].....
I'm planning on using mine to commute to uni once I'm competent, but since I've just managed my first 5 metre hands-free this morning and it's about 5 kilometres to the uni, I've some learning to do yet.

I ride to school on mine. Do I still count as a kid at 17? Its probably no more than half a mile and I just leave it in my common room where no-one touches it.
As I can recall there are several people that are homeschooled on this thread (myself included) so by defult each time we ride into our driveway we are riding our uni's to school😄

i know. he was kidnapped by aliens, learnt their ways, stole the biggest ship he could, travelled back in time by mistake and crashed the plane on the earth surface. he was the one who killed the dinosaurs. -ivan ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Joe2005's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/13692 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/59123
Both my kids ride to school sometimes. My son, 10, rides about 1/2 mile to his school, and my daughter, 12, rides her 42" wheel about 3 1/2 miles to her school (along with a 12 year old neighbor on another 42" wheel).
