  1. Hello, I race mountain bikes and would like learn to unicycle to improve
    my balance. Does anyone know of someone who could teach me? I live near
    Cooperstown, New York.

    Thank you!

  2. Lessons are for suckers. Just learn on your own.

  3. What he means to say is most unicyclists are self taught and if you race
    bicycles there's no reason why you can't learn to ride a unicycle on
    your own. Which is not to say it isn't fun and helpful to have someone
    to ride with and get advice from.

    Find something to hold on to, get up on the unicycle, push off.

    Repeat until you can go a bit, then a bit more, then further, and then
    you're off.

    Make sure the seat is set so your legs are almost fully extended when
    the pedals are at their lowest point. Very key, keep your weight on the
    seat as much as possible.

    Good luck, ask specific questions, and let us know how you're doing.

    This is true.

    However, if you wanted to drive to Albany, there are a couple of us
    riders up here, and we'd be glad to give you pointers.

  5. I would reccomend the KH freeride, that one will last you longest after
    you switch to muni instead of b*king.

  6. i would say teach yourself, but if you can get into contact with other
    riders it might expedite the learning process..

    he has one foot in the door, almost one less of them..
