As I've probably posted 42 times by now, I bought a 6' Semcycle. I can't
practice it at home (for obvious reasons) and I can't practice it outside.
There's no way to get onto the uni around my house, and it's snowing. I'd
really like to practice self mounting, but I have no space! I'm sure this
has happened to others. Do you just wait for spring?! I'm so frustrated! I
get an awesome Hannukah present and I can't use it. Also, two quick
questions on the self mount: one, when I step on the wheel, my foot pushes
on the chain... is this allright? Two, would it be easier to do if I lowered
the seat a couple of inches so my pants won't get caught? Thanks so much!
Really any advice on self mounting would be of great help.

Try to see if there is a gym at a nearby school or church or something that
would let you practice. I would think that most places wouldn’t have a problem
with that.

this should be allright. your not really on the wheel that long anyways.

lowering the seat makes mounting a bit easer but if the seat is too low it
becomes hard to ride. spandex bike shorts and tucking in the frount of your
shirt also help alot.
Good luck. I think the first time I freemounted a 6 footer was one of my coolest
experiences.
