First: Define "Unicyclist" as mentioned above and then allow for a scale
of 1 to 10 of personal relevancy towards that definition (Not at all, a
little, somewhat, a lot; you've seen these scales).

Next: Randomly select a large population of Americans (5000+) to answer
that definition. Repeat several times to secure an average ratio and
use this to reasonably guess the number of unicyclists in the country.

Also because we don't know. Kington said what I usually end up saying
when journalists ask me how many unicyclists there are. These days it's
usually "how many mountain unicyclists are there?" Same answer, lower
estimated number.

My guess for the # of people in the United States who can ride a
unicycle:
1,000,000. Most are not active.



I guess the people most qualified to answer this are the manufacturers.
If we knew how many unicycles KH, Qu-Ax, Onza, Coker, Schwin, Nimbus
etc have sold in the last 5 years then that would be a good starting
point.

I know that from the 'how many unis do you own' thread that the amount
sold would need to be divided by Pi, so that should give us a good
starting point.

Of course, there's lots of home made unicycles about, and old ones that
are still going, plus ones that have been built up from spare
components. However, I think these would probably cancel out the ones
bought with good intentions that are now rusting away in sheds after 2
weeks of failing to be ridden, as well as those which have got damaged
beyond repair.

i would define a unicyclist as a person who rides a unicycle often once
a week at the least...however what i meant was "how many people in the
u.s. can ride a unicycle sucsessfully"

No. There really are only 2.5 unicyclists in the entire U.S.A. The
rest just fake it really well.

Ha! I am actually classified as a unicyclist then. I just hope I am not
the 1/2 person.
