tell me how

well, umm, you get on, and push the front pedal down. then repeat.

but seriously, do you know how to ride a unicycle? that should come
first. then learn to ride SIF really well, then learn seat drags or
pushes. then try a UW.

find a smooth rail , use both hands,-- when you get better, use one hand
on the rail.

shin guards recommended

that's how I did it. incredible leg workout.

well can you ride SIF really well? like, able to hold it with your
pinky at full arm's length? if so, i'd get a UW and follow the same
steps you used to learn to unicycle, like critter said. if not, well,
you know what to do.

The bigger the wheel, the easier it is to learn/ride (I first learned on
a 36"😉

Trey and keep your center of gravity at the same height. That is, don't
bop up and down each time you pedal.

If you use a big enough wheel you can grab onto the tire to help you
pull yourself onto it, then push it away from you as you start
pedalling to build up momentum.

Hope that helps.

buy an UW its much easier than a unicycle wheel. you could always take
off the frame and try ride just the wheel and cranks.

could you get some steel tubing, and bend it to be 36" diametre

that would give you the rim, but it would be weird to try and get a
tyre on it, let alone a tube. hmmmm. if you did it you'd have a big
round piece of tubing, then i guess you could just coat the outside of
it with some rubber or something.

putting a rubber thingy over the outside wouldn't be that great. it
would wear done really quickly and it wouldnt give you any suspension
at all. i recommend actually buying a 36" wheel.

yeah but that costs loads of money. it wouldnt wear down quickly at all,
and the spring in the tyre isn't called suspension by the way.

well it would be so much better to buy a wheel. it wouldn't screw up and
would be so much better.

it wouldnt be better, this way would cost maybe 30 bucks, to buy the
wheel would be well over 200. i dont think the quality difference is
worth that much money tom, thus, it is not better.

yea but the wheel would be better. the wheel would be made by
professionals. i'm 100% sure that would be better than yours.

if by better you mean quality, then yes, it would be loads better,
however, mine will be loads better in price because it will be loads
cheaper.

my UW will be better because it is within my budget, and i get the
satisfaction of making it.
