I love unicycling

Off-topic

When I unicycle it gives me goosebumps. I become giddy. I talk to myself. I giggle.

It’s like nothing in the world.

I just wanted to share my experience with everyone here.

If you also find yourself to be a lover of unicycling, post why. (I can’t be the only one…)

Well i love unicycling because…

  • It’s a drug that you once you start, you don’t want to stop.
  • If you stack it, chances are you will land on your feet.
  • Tricks seem to be easier to accomplish then on a bike. (for me anyways)
  • People scratch their heads trying to figure out how in the heck i can ride a unicycle.
  • Project Unicycles (Enough said) :stuck_out_tongue:
  • It is probably one of the most unique recreational sports out there 2day and i like it like that.
  • When riding with my friends. It draws attention like crazy.
  • I prefer doing charity runs on 1.
  • They’re UNIquely fun to ride.
  • You can never get bored riding one. :smiley:

I love unicycling because of the people. I haven’t ridden with unicyclist I didn’t like.

(Despite the fact that, on line, unicyclists usually have 10-20% unicycle threads on the first page of JC.)

I think that Hazmat said just about every reason that i uni, so i wont list them all again :sunglasses:

i ride cause
not many do it
it’s different
it’s challenging
i get lots of hot girls to come up to me(SWEET!:smiley: )
u can do way more w a uni
people always want to try it and i get 2 watch them fall off(you’d be amazed wat the do, say, and ask me)
its smaller than a bike, so i can keep it in my garage so it won’t rust
and most of all IT’S FUN AND DANGEROUS, JUST THE WAY I LIKE IT!!!

There’s always something new to learn…

Unicycling is okay. I’m not as enthusiastic as I once was. I ride once in a while. It’s fun, but I don’t live for it.

I never forget, however, that it has changed my life. I have made many dear friends because of unicycling. I’ve gone places and attended events and met people and had wonderful experiences because of unicycling. I’ve had many pleasant conversations with random people I encounter. It is a uniquely social sport or hobby. None of my other hobbies – past or present – have come close to the social nature of unicycling. Being an unusual and small sport with a high barrier of entry, unicycling fosters a strong sense of kinship with other unicyclists.

I sometimes wonder if other hobbies/sports can do the same. I bought a canoe earlier this year. I love to paddle in lakes. It brings me to beautiful and serene places. It’s a great upper-body workout. I’ve gotten stronger as a result. And if I weren’t already a unicyclist, I would be saying that canoeists and kayakers are the nicest people! If I were to join a canoe/kayak club or two, I would go places, make new friends, attend events, and have wonderful experiences. But somehow, I don’t think it would be the same as unicycling. It wouldn’t have the same impact on me. I would have less of a bond with the people I meet. The whole experience would be less special. Why is that? Why is unicycling so special?

You’ve just now discovered that?

Because people like you who write stuff like this are part of it.

its always a challenge and you can do new stuff until you are completely winded. then you can still enjoy it as you watch other people try it. (The best are the drunks that congregate at one restaurant at 3am) That and the joy of watching a whole field of 6 year olds run off the field in their soccer game to follow you while the coaches try to herd them back into the game.
