The first one looks so hard to ride. Not to mention the saddles look
terribly uncomfortable.

Suspension doesn't really work on the frame of the unicycle, well
doesn't help. Since all force lands on the pedals and cranks/hub. Not
the seat, well if you do it right it shouldn't be on the seat.

For the most part this is true. A suspended seat can take the bite out
of a bumpy ride, but isn't useful to eat big impacts. I've found the
suspension seatpost on my carbon MUni to be a nice ride-smoother, but
all the big bumps are taken standing up. A suspended seat might be more
useful for a road unicycle, like a touring 36-er.

Yes, tandem unicycles are really hard to ride. Even with Sem Abrahams
and Ken Fuchs on one, both expert riders, they were only able to go
10-20 meters and had great difficulty making turns. With more practice
I'm sure they could get better, but tandem unicycles take something
that's hard to ride and make it quite a bit harder!

That's interesting - do you find having a suspension post inhibits your
riding at all? Does it cause any problems with hopping or other handle
usage? Is it strong enough?

I'd been wondering for a while if a suspension post might be worthwhile
for making lumpy ground more comfortable.

Dave: Just a question. What use is a unicyle with no seat? And no
pedals!
Mark: To answer a question with a question: What use is a skateboard?
Dave: Skateboards have wheels.
Mark: My wheel has a wheel!

Is there any need for a suspension seat doing road rides? Now and again
you'll drop or hop a curb and maybe some potholes... does it make the
ride smoother even on pavement?
