backpack on(i have yet to get my unicycle) 'cause i hear it's tough on
a bike so I don't know.

Yup, it's certainly possible to ride a Uni with a backpack. Of course it
depends how big the backpack is and what it weighs. But once you're able
to ride any distance you shouldn't have any problem with a small pack.
In fact, I find a backpack pretty much essential so I can carry a
hydration system.

So are imaginary logs what you ride on a Mun"i" ?

It is certainly possible. I do it almost every day. Just don't load it
up too much. I would likely not be able to ride with the backpack my
7th grader carries to school.....tom

I'll often bring groceries home in a backpack. - not a week's worth,
just stuff for that night's dinner.

I often go to work with my backpack carrying my laptop and a lot of
stuff. It weights about 5 kg I think. I ride for about 2 km.

Yesterday, I tried to also ride with my son's saxophone on my chest,
and my backpack on the back. It was fine (but I sweat a lot). It can be
an option to manage weight on your body.

Same here - although I buy groceries for a week. Weights at least 5 kg
I guess (just milk and juice = 3-4 liter ~ 3-4 kg). Definitely doable,
although you'll sweat a lot on your back.

I used to ride with a backback with my trumpet (in a case), food, water,
extra clothes and such. Very uncomfotable, but very possible.

I ride to school with a backpack up to 6 miles(9.5km) a day and until
this year I don't think I've had my backpack weigh less than 30
pounds(13kg) it's definitely possible although after a few miles can
get uncomfortable if you don't have a decent backpack with nice straps
and buckles to keep it from digging into your shoulders and swaying
back and forth as you ride.

When I was a kid, I used to ride my uni delivering newspapers, with the
double sided newpaper bag. I mut've carried close to 150 papers
daily....I don't see a problem with riding with a backpack, as long as
it is comfortable, and tensioned correctly.
