My knees are sore?
My knees hurt any suggestions, its fine if im going straight but its when im trying to lurn how to idle that they hurt. It feels as if i get all tense and then the muscle gets sore mostly around the top and the sides of my knee. Im starting to do some strengthening excercises. Any how any suggestions would be great. Thanks alot mat -- oldandmoldymat i ride like buddah nature exsploding and imploding into the nothingness.....and well...the everythiangness. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ oldandmoldymat's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/12076 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/49662 |

My knees are sore?
ive been riding uni on and off for a year or two. Butnever really attempted to idle untill i got my new uni. So fairly new i guess. Any tips on idling? -- oldandmoldymat i ride like buddah nature exsploding and imploding into the nothingness.....and well...the everythiangness. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ oldandmoldymat's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/12076 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/49662 |

I learnt a new tip at BUC that has greatly improved my idling. Put as little weight as possible on the top foot. If your wheel twists it's because there is too much weight on your top foot.

Actually I have on occassion got sore knees while unicycling. My knees used to hurt when I was learning - due to jarring when I hit the floor I thought. Also the first time I played unihockey I had a swollen knee the next day. Sometimes my knees click when I'm riding the 29er with 140mm cranks.

oldandmoldymat wrote: im still learning to succomb all my wieght to the seat. That's why you're so sore. As you practice, it will get better. You would get as sore. I wouldn't sweat idling until you can ride "as long as you want" with your weight on the seat. Incidentally, I never purposed to learn idling very well. I learned a bunch of other skills in higher levels, and then one day I realized that I could idle with one foot. Only after idling with one foot did I really solidify my (two footed) idling technique, which probably has something to do with what Cathy mentioned--keeping your weight off of your top foot. -- phlegm ------------------------------------------------------------------------ phlegm's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/8382 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/49662 |

Although I can ride backward OK I always have difficulty doing the transition from forward to back (ie the basic idling requirement). Anyway, having noted Cathwood's post quoted above, I went straight out and proved to myself that it not only works but is the key that I was lacking. I am most grateful for your insight. -- tedward ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tedward's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/12206 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/49662 |

How exciting. I wish I could take credit for the insight, unfortunately it was Steve Granger who told me. But glad I could helpfully pass it on.
