    i hold on to the front of the seat. Then have the pedals at the 8 and 2
    oclock positions. put your strongest foot on the 8oclock position pedal
    put most of your weight on it, then step onto the 2oclock position and
    start pedalling. it might take a while to get used to. good luck 🙂

    He meant to say _5_o_clock_ not 8. Put your foot on the closest, bottom
    pedal, in a 4/5 o clock position.

    no i find it easier to have it at 8oclock, but the more common method
    is 5oclock position

    I suppose I got confused over which side you look at 8 o clock on. Do
    you mean you put your foot on the pedal at the bottom and your side of
    the axle?

    If you don't... I think that's rather unorthodox.

    Is that 8 O'Clock Mountain Standard Time or Central?
    What if my Unicycle is Digital?

    so confused...
