Poll: How long have you been riding

The recent responses to a post about this suggests that many people have
only been riding a short time. I don't know if that is just the biased
sample of forum responders. Maybe there are just many people new to a
blossoming sport, or may many people lose interest before they have many
years in. I'm 48 and have been riding 31 years.

I learned over 30 yrs ago. However, I only rode occationally for a year
or so. Then, 29 yrs later, I picked it back up and have ridden hard for
the past two years.

There was a long period of Rip Van Winkle non-riding in the middle. When
I awoke, there were MUni's and Trials and Cokers...oh my!

So, I can say I've ridden over 30 yrs.

And I can say I rode for about a year back then and two years recently.
Totalling about 3 yrs.

I'm 48 and I've been riding since 12 or 13 (can't remember) and still
use the same unicycle. Don't know what kind it is but it's 24" chrome
and came with a white wall tire, white seat and the white seat cover
was held on by clips that lipped over the edge of the metal seat.

Last year I got a new Viscount seat, longer seat post, new crank arms
and pedals from unicyle.com.
Wish I had a more comfortable seat. Can anybody suggest a more
comfortable seat?

yeah I can, a KJ seat is more comfy, and not too expensive. I started on
a Viscount, so I know theres a difference. It does take a bit of
getting used to, but worth it.

I'm 32 (few days from 33) and I've been riding almost one year.

Speaking of which, I've persuaded my friends to help me fund a unicycle for my
birthday.
Right now I have a 20" Dodger training uni, but it's not holding up well under
my 100kilos (220 pounds).
One goal for my next uni is bike rides with my two-wheeling friends,
but I'm also interested in MUni.
Should I go for a Kris Holm 24" or a Coker?
