time: 23hrs over 1.5 months
gender: male
the best 23 hrs i’ve ever spent!!!
I was about 11 yrs old. I practiced everyday for about two weeks. Once I could ride about 10 feet I just kept going. I taught myself by sitting on the uni with my right foot on the rear pedal with the wheel against a brick wall applying a little pressure to keep me on the wall. I would slowly push off and start pedaling with my left foot.
I am 45 now (male) and ride a 24" Torker.
Thanks. Can you make an estimate as to the number of hours practiced, per day or in total in these two weeks?
Klaas Bil
Klass- I must have spent at least two hours a day for two weeks. But back then (30+ years ago) the uni’s were very different. My first one was a 16" with plastic hubs, no spokes. It was incredibly hard to learn to ride. After I mastered it and got a better one, I was amazed at how easy it was to ride. It was almost effortless. I’m sure if I learned on a good unicycle, then my learning time would have been substantially shorter. I plan on getting my 7 year old son a 16" Torker for his 8th b-day. Hopefully his learning time will be shorter than mine.
Hope this info helps

Thanks all for contributing. I’ll be offline for almost a week as of
tomorrow. I welcome any additional (or supplemental) entries in the
meantime. In addition to A, B and C you may want to state wheelsize
learned on, calender time used to learn, and what sort of instruction
you had. Plus optionally whatever you think is relevant.
I plan to post results around mid April.

Klaas-
I will repeat one of my posts to include the wheel size. Sorry for the extra verbage, I thought it easier for you to sort out that way.
First of all, I learned on a 20" wheel. Now the past post with the wheel sizes added.
