What sports have you ditched for unicycing?

As the title states...
What sports have you ditched to ride your uni?
I hadnt really thought about it till yesterday, but it seems i have
ditched my road bike for my uni!
I would rather go for a ride on my uni than bust out 45-50kms on my
bike.
Just curious as to what other sports people have let slip.
I still plan to get the bike out as often as i can but the uni is more
appealing at the moment as i am making good progress.
Peace.

I learned to unicycle back when I was in the 7th grade. I never learned
to do anything more than ride and idle. Shortly after that I got
interested in bicycling. Got a touring bike and did some loaded
touring. Then got a racing style road bike and got interested in the
go fast aspect. That continued until 10 years ago when I bought a
Pashley MUni and got bitten by the unicycling bug again. In those 10
years the road bike got ZERO use. I finally sold the road bike this
year. I replaced it with a fixed gear bike.

I've been using the fixed gear bike for trips to Seattle or Bellevue
that are too long to consider on the Coker. I'm trying to drive the
car less. A ride to Seattle is a 40 to 50 mile round trip. Too far
for a reasonable Coker ride but quite reasonable on the fixie bike.

I've been riding the fixie more than the Coker in the past month. So
now the question is am I going to ditch unicycling for the fixie?

Isn't giving up bicycling for unicycling just part of a natural
progression?

I've played a lot of different sports throughout my life, but other
than bicycling, the only other sport that I would say I was ever really
into was basketball. And, well, I play unicycle basketball from time
to time now. Long before I learned to unicycle, I gave up basketball
because I got tired of wrecking my ankles.

So, have I really ditched anything? I'm still a cyclist, and now I
play basketball again, just not "foot-basketball."

I used to MTN bike a lot more. Nothing special, just messing around a
lot, and I'd ride with my dad while he ran (he's a marathon runner).


I haven't exactly ditched it though. I'd still love to do it more, but
I need to buy a new bike and unicycles always seem to come first....

I skateboarded for like 8 years before I picked up a unicycle. I can
still outskate most of the kids at the skateparks.
