I don’t know anything about Toronto, maybe somebody on rec.juggling could help
you out if noone on this mailing list is from there. I was just helping a friend
today who would like to learn (using my unicycle :-), be forewarned, it’s a
several week project to get proficient at it, and we’re not talking about going
up curbs yet. For doing distances, I would recommend a 24" wheel. I find that
unicycling speedwise is midway between biking and walking (about 7mph, uh 11
kph?). Sorry I can’t help you out more specifically. /
