if you're careful with them then yes they're good fun. The two things to watch out for are bending the frame by dropping the uni, or the sprocket slipping because the ring has unscrewed, which causes sudden loss of drive.

I'd say any giraffe would be a good buy.

I only ride my six-footer once every four months, but I wouldn't dream of selling it. Loads of people say you can't do much with them and the novelty doesn't last long, but the amount of people I've met who sold their giraffe and ending up wishing they hadn't...
