The big question… Can even I ride a unicycle?
A little backstory… I’m 25, weight 325lbs, and have been cycling/mountain biking/touring for 13 years… I currently live car-free, and cycle at least 50-100 miles per week. I have also been riding motorcycles for nine years. I have great balance, and very strong legs(go figure:D ).
I’m confident in my abilities, but I understand that there are certain physics that are going to working against me here… What’s the heaviest you’ve seen uni?
I have a Torker DX 24" that will be delivered tomorrow! The anticipation is killing me, but I’m worried still. I guess I just couldn’t resist that stereotypical image of a fat man on a Unicycle! I’m thinking that a bear suit and a Uni is all I need for my next Halloween costume…
I think I have realistic goals and expectations of what I can do. I think the Uni I ordered is beefy enough to get me learnin’. If I find that I’m wanting to raise the bar and do more agressive/off-road stuff, I will spend the money to build something industructable… (the Conundrum comes to mind).
What do you think, can it be done? Thanks for any input!
