he was a kid and asked to try it. He mounted on about the second try.
It had been 20 years or so for him. He rode all the way around the
large parking lot and rode through the big group of bike patrol
trainees he was there with. You should have heard the reaction from
all his buddies.*

I would love to see a picture of a cop on a unicycle!

Welcome to the list and welcome back to the sport.

Keep up with the riding and the belly will start to melt away (almost 6
months and over 3 inches so far).

So, where are you moving to in BC?

Hello Uni-vs-U

When I left for college I left my 20" P.O.S. at home and only picked it
up every now and again for the next 16 years. In my mind a unicycle was
mostly a trick and a 20" was not any real means of transportation. Not
to mention that awful seat!

When I first picked up the 20" recently I could ride no problem, and
after a couple of days I could even go backwards (the hardest skill I
knew from before). Then the big brown truck came with my 29er.

Wow, what a difference! The first time on that one I didn't make it 5
feet, control presented a whole new challenge with the larger tire and
shorter cranks. But now I have something that I can really use to get
from point A to point B, and for me that is the most fun. If I had
known about a unicycle like this in college (did they exist circa 1987?)
I would have ridden one up and down the Charles river on the way to
school. As it was I was making do with a two-wheeler (Hey, what's the
extra wheel for?)

Phil

In 1987 you could have ordered a 28" from DM in England. The main
problem would have been knowing there was a DM to order a 28" from. Or
you could have had Tom Miller build you just about anything, though his
bigger wheels (usually 40") had hard rubber tires and were nothing like
riding an air tire for distances.
