I'm sorry to hear of this. I wish you the best. Good luck, and I hope that you find plenty of other good things to do with your time, that will hopefully treat you better than unicycling has.

How many "I'm quitting!" threads have we had now?

Can't people use the SEARCH function?

If someone else quitting discourages you may I suggest you stop now.

If all the people that tried to ride a unicycle posted here when they gave up they'd be no need to ever use the search function to find that thread.

Isn't the fact most people that try to ride give up a good reason for doing it in the first place? It was for me.

These threads would be more useful if the quitter listed the unicycles that they would be getting rid of as a result... can this be moved to the trading post?

Mind explaining why?
Do your friends still poke fun? Chronic injuries? Not getting as good as you hoped or just not enough time to ride?
