  1. So today I decided to practice unicycling (and until today, I hadn't
    been able to do anything but mount it, I couldn't get pedaling.) After
    an hour or so of practice, I could ride it pretty far, and after
    another hour or two, I could ride it down my block (probably about 100
    meters or so.) I can also mount and dismount fairly easily, and I'm
    pretty happy about all of that.

    The issue is that I still have some balance issues. I can stay on the
    unicycle, but often I'll start to tip one way and have to steer
    furiously towards the direction I'm falling. I usually right myself,
    but it gets really inconvenient, especially when I'm riding on the
    sidewalk. Is there any way to remedy this, or is it just something that
    will fix itself with practice?

  2. Sounds as if you're well on your way. Just keep practicing. It will
    smooth out soon.
    Congrats!!

  3. You're definitely making great progress. Keep up the practice! The
    natural balance will come in time.
