All I can say is try it, it's REALLY fun and an incredible workout.

Do you have children?

What a thoughtful question. Yes, two.

I thought it was.

Compare a comfy, soft uni seat where I sit straight up, to a long-nosed
bike
seat on which you actually lean forward. In both cases, with a big
drop, we
put our weight on the pedals, not the seat right? Or do you not ride
drops
on your bike?

Nothing over curb height and even then I walk it down some of the larger
curbs because I always scrape my bottom bracket on them.

Heh, heh.

That's why I don't juggle on my unicycle - I don't have the balls.

I have met Kris Holm on several occasions, he is definitely one of the
coolest guys in the bike biz, the godfather of mountain uni.

I started my Muni experience this past weekend. Well, I started riding
off the bike path and onto the grass, and for a unicyclist whose been
riding 5 weeks now, that is enough.

Unicycling is so much fun it should be illegal. It will not replace long
mountain bike rides in SW Colorado, but I imagine I will continue to
ride it through the summer. Look for me on the practice loop in Moab in
fall ... on one wheel.

Great job, Craig. You're hooked, I can tell! The weightless feeling of
riding a uni is intense and addictive. Check out www.unicyclist.com for all
the advice and discussion on the subject you could possibly need.

I am hooked, thanks Steve.
I read that forum all the time, but have not had anything worthwhile to add.
