    Riding my coker has become too easy. So today I filled the tube with
    water and began idling. Look at this 'movie'
    (http://www.muni.se/cokerwateridling.mov) (1,2 MB). I can recommend
    it to anybody with weak legs – idling with a water filled tube really
    builds up your muscles.

    Hmm, I can't watch that .mov ... never mind.
    If you really want more angular momentum in your wheel you should fill it
    with jelly! I'M SERIOUS. The water in your tyre will not move/rotate with
    the tyre so although the weight of the wheel is increased the angular
    momentum will stay the same; the wheel will rotate around the water.
    If you fill your tyre with jelly (or similar) it will grip the insides of
    the inner tube and move with the tyre.

    Have fun, and use inner tubes you're prepared to cut off your wheel.

    P.S. Jelly may or may net be served at the price included meals at BUC12
    http://www.unicycle.org.uk/buc12/ Pre-reg closes on Monday the 4th of
