Help! Frustrated with switch to 29

Keeping the 29 and picking up a 24 or 26 in great advice. There's
nothing worse than selling something at a loss, only to wind up buying
another one later on. As far as what to buy, I'm completely...

I was cruising down a sidewalk the other day and I passed an Anishnabe

Tarp shelters for unicycle touring

wooden supports on the ends and it could be wadded up so...

Today was great cause it was almost 40 and really sunny: Perfect for a

Maybe if you get a part time job and can pay for it yourself from your

only way I can support my hobby habits is by doing side...

I'm a new unicyclist and need help.

The reason I brought up an LX 24 is that once he learned and felt
comfortable enough to "hop and drop", the LX 24 would still serve a
purpose: For riding mid distances at a reasonable speed, faster...

Size could be something to think about too. If you want to use it for
getting around, a Torker LX 24 may be a good bet. Maybe a little harder
to learn on than a 20, but you'll pick it up.

Are there any strippers that would work better than others for an
aluminum frame? I don't want it to be all scratched up from sanding.

I've seen people riding bicycles under water so it should be possible.

Pittsburgh to DC - Great Allegheny Passage and C&O Canal

That is so cool. Dang! I thought I'd be set with a 20" and a 24". Now I
have to explain to my wife that I need a 29" and a 36"... Too bad I
can't convince her to learn the ways of the uni!

Toe surgery...

Good luck with your surgery. Back in the day, the Doc would just say,
"Yup, your toes are broken". and leave it at that.. maybe add "Be more
careful when you roundhouse kick."
