If you don't have metal pedals and you won't be doing anything crazy I don't see why you would need anything other than some good clothing....Usually a T-shirt, jeans, and badly worn shoes. -- hobo_chuck ------------------------------------------------------------------------ hobo_chuck's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/14113 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/71703 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

the most important thing for a beginner in my opinion is wrist guards, and welcome to the unique world of unicycling!! -- einrad101 People who pass me tell me that I am crazy.....

Welcome IMO the best place to learn is a long railing, somewhere between waist and cheat height, while siting on the uni. If you can find one on a wood deck that's a plus. A wall can work, but not as well as a railing IMO. For a learner, I'd say gloves (to avoid splinters and nicking your hands on metal fences), and wrist guards are required. Also shin guards if you have metal pedals. What kind of riding do you think you want to get into, and what uni do you have now? -- skilewis74 Ride everywhere and never just ride anywhere. If you can ride where you are going within a hour, do it, and if you can do a trick 50-75% of the time do it along the way.- Bob Burnquist What next?

Thanks for the welcome and the advice. I appreciate it. As for what kind of riding I want to get into, I just don't know yet. Once I learn to ride, I'll start thinking of how I want to branch out. I bought my uni used and it's a 20 incher made by Gravity Industrial Designs Group. Don't know if that's a good brand or not. -- Tulsa ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tulsa's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/17590 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/71703 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

WELCOME! I am 42 and brand new to the sport. I have skinned knees, elbows, beat up ankles, sore muscles and i'm loving it. I've had an uncontrollable smile on my face for almost a week! I'm making slow progress and I've figured out that all the helpful tips and hints are very good, but when it all comes down to it, practice and patience are the real key. I feel like a big kid again. -- GaUniRider ------------------------------------------------------------------------ GaUniRider's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/17568 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/71703 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |
