What made you first pick this up?

I was at the after-school centre and the unicycle was right there.

For me, after seeing George Peck's Rough Terrain Unicycling video in
June 1997, it was clear that I needed to graduate from a mountain bike
to a mountain unicycle. 4 or 5 of us saw that video that day, and every
one of them learned to ride that year and still rides.

I've always been into hiking and biking, so unicycling seemed to be
something in between those two hobbies which also gave a fantastic new
challenge into the bargain, and just another good reason to be out in
the country side getting some excersise. I remember seeing Muni on TV a
few years ago on a UK programme called Country Tracks with a bloke
explaining why he rode around the woods on a unicycle. Does anyone else
remember seeing that or know who that was? Anyway I thought to myself
that I must try that one day and last year did, and now I am hooked on
Muni and can't get enough of it.

Can't wait for the clocks to go forward so then I can start getting some
in after work.

One day my friend was playing on the computer when I was at his house
and it was boring for me. So I just decided to get his crappy unicycle
out of his shed that they had never used. Then when I could ride it a
littel bit I taught Bryan m.

Bicycle is just a short way of saying unicycle with a training wheel.

I like to do things that confuse other people - mix chocolate milk and
orange juice, read books in trees, and other junk like that.

Sheer boredom one summer day at the age of 11 combined with discovering
my brother's long forgotten uni in the garage.

Now how my brother ever got around to buying a uni, I'll never know.

I was a hang glider pilot for about 6 years. I used to jump off
perfectly good mountains, soar around for a few minutes or a few hours
depending on conditions and land. HG pilots would always have some type
of back up activity to do in case of non optimum flying conditions. Kite
flying, model glider soaring, even using a sling shot to deliver water
balloons to each other. During that time I remember seeing one of the
other pilots trying to learn to ride a unicycle. I tried and failed
miserably.
I get married, a year and a half later we have our first child.
Financially and the possibility of getting hurt flying, I decide that
hang gliding may not be for me anymore.
A few more years pass, another child, and needing a new challenge,
something flashes in my mind, back to the afternoon when I saw a hang
glider pilot learning to ride his unicycle.
I ask for and receive from my wife a 20" Torker for Christmas 2003, and
now I'm back flying again.

my uncle moved and found an old unicycle that he had. he gave it to me,
and i figured since I had a unicycle, I might as well learn to ride it.
So I did. Now that he knows I've got a couple new unis since then, he
wants it back so his kid can learn.

Yes I remember seeing that programme, it was Duncan Castling and his son
& daughter riding through the woods.
