Re: unicycling pain

I just bought my first unicycle and practiced some time. My problem:
Sitting on it is rather uncomfortable for me. After practicing a while
my pelvic bone hurts quite a lot. Lastly I had to quit practicing
because it's getting worse. Hence my question: is this normal at the
beginning or might the saddle just be bad (or not correctly adjusted)?
Or (maybe sounds weird) am I too skinny (about 60kg, 1.75m tall) and
thus I don't have enough "fat padding"? Any help appreciated!

Ride through it.
What are you wearing, I suggest something soft while you learn, but then
you can move on to jeans later on and stuff and you'll be fine.

And how is education supposed to make me feel smarter? Besides, every
time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain.

Ok, I am now officially in my normal state of -advanced- confusion.
Don't try to confuse me, it won't make any difference.

i remeber how you feel and i felt like that until i got my Kris Holm
Velo Seat! (sounds like i'm doing a cheesy advert for the seat doesn't
it, i was in so much pain until i brought the seat of my dreams with
maximum comfort and padded seating and easy grip handle this seat is
all you need for the ultimate unicycling experience, only £30.00 from
unicycle.com near you!)

sorry about that got a bit carried away witht he 'cheesy advert thing'
but seriously it is really comfy and saves your bum from getting num :p
