the school cycle project

As someone who unicycled to school every day of school all of my
freshman year of highschool, and once a week this year, I will tell you
now that unless you have HUGE lockers, there's no point in trying this.
I wanted to do this in middleschool, but I noticed there's a fatal flaw
to this. Firstly, a geared up, chaindriven 16", so it rides like a 24" I
say 24" because 24" is really the minimum to is a bad idea.

Don't you think it's a cruel irony that acting like a G.I. Joe in the
army can get you a Medal, while playing with one can get you thrown
out?

I'm currently building a two wheeler with two 12" wheels. They
generally come reasonably fat and are easy to find as the smallest size
of kids bike usually has 12" wheels. Good luck, please keep us
informed.

Is the having to fit in your locker thing part of everyone's project or
just something you've chosen for your scheme?

i have not measured my locker yet, but by guessing i think it is
probably about 12 inches wide and 16 inches deep. it is probably bigger.
i have just started building it today, but i dont have anything welded
yet so i can still change it if my guess measurements are wrong. i will
officially start building it on monday, once i get the measurments.

Just remember that you'll be able to fit a (slightly) larger wheel at an
angle (corner to corner) than front to back when you measure the size of
your locker. It's a stupid little thing that people tend to forget.

My school is designed wonderfully for learning how to unicycle, so I've
decided to learn how to ride after school/during lunch sometime.
Nothing would ever fit in my locker, so I had to go to the office and
ask them on their unicycle policy. Would I have to lock it up with the
bikes, or would they hold it with all the skateboards in the closet?

They looked at me strangely.
