I normally ride between 4 and 5 miles, a few days per/week, during my lunch time.
Today, I rode 6.25 miles. That’s just over 10 kilometers. It was over 90 degrees, and I sweated a ton. But it was a very nice ride, some on road, some on sidewalks and 4 miles on a perfect uni trail called “River Walk Trail”.
I realize 6 1/4 miles is not much to many riders on this board, but it was great for me. My longest previous ride was 5.87 miles.
Why did I ride further today. I locked my keys in my truck at the Park (where my ride began). So, I rode my 4 mile ride, then had to continue all the way back to my office. That accounts for the other 2.25 miles. That’s right, call me a dork. I locked my keys in my truck… but I got a longer uni ride from the mistake. --chirokid–
Think about it this way–
Smoking is bad for the cardiovascular system.
Unicycling is good for the cardiovascular system.
All in all, you’re breaking even!
Mandell, I have a great staff at work. One of the ladies at my office gets me lunch and has it on my desk when I return. I couldn’t ask for any better set-up.
Plus, I am very blessed, I have 2 1/2 hours for lunch everyday. --chirokid–
It’s so hot when I ride, I can hardly keep the sweat wiped out of my eyes, let alone chow down!
I do like eatting an apple or something when I ride sometimes. Makes you look really in control. Just calm and collected. Eatting your apple, while riding. --chirokid–
James and Paco, we all have our vices. James might smoke, I would NEVER smoke. But I eat way too much. My overeatting affects me just like James’ smoking effects him.
But they are both bad habits.
Hey, off those bad habits. This site is about the ONE thing, a One Wheels thing that ties us all together: U N I C Y C L E S ! ! ! Let’s talk about them. --chirokid–
My vice is unicyclist.com. I’m addicted. Fortunately, this website makes me want to go out and ride, so I don’t spend all my time in front of the monitor.
I don’t usually smoke, but I’ve taken to cigarillos (and will give it up
before the wife and kids find out).
I’d love to be able to smoke and have a beer while riding just to show off
to my brothers how talented (and stupid) I can be.
Really getting addicted to unicycling since I’ve figured out to raise the
seat makes riding so much easier, and freemounting isn’t so difficult.
Now I have to learn to stop and stay mounted, and to turn on a dime.
What a thrill this sport is…barely touch the two wheeler anymore.

My head sweats like a faucet these hot humid summer days. Can’t see. UPD. Constant annoyance. Now I never ride without a bandana wrapped around my head. (and worn under my helmet). Some days I have to ring it out a time or two. And keep that camelback pumping in the new H2O.
I’m working on eating leftovers like last night’s unrefrigerated sushi (just kidding), more like some leftover noodles, while wheelwalking. I’m also working on solving quadric equations while riding to school. No wonder my writing is so sloppy ! If only my math teacher knew.
