Anyone notice that I put my Uni under the guy in a wheelchair.

Ohhh, the humanity!
Spent quite some time with my Oracle 36 these days. Although I’ve owned it for nearly a year, it’s only until recently I can feel of getting the hang of it, and that feeling is amazing!

I hope you don’t think this is rude, but how tall are you?
I am 170cm and I have always thought a standard 36’er would be too big for me and I’d have to go for a NightFox if I wanted a 36". Seeing your setup with the seat all the way down makes me think I might get away with a standard one, especially when I look at one of your other photos in this thread with it alongside a NightFox. I guess I could always cut the frame a bit but I’d rather avoid that.

Hi, it’s not rude at all!
I think the most important thing here is your inseam length (crotch to ground, including any height brought by your shoes). I’m 176cm but have a rather short inseam length of only 77cm, where the minimum requirement of Oracle 36 was 39cm. However I decided to take the chance and luckily it worked for me with the seat post all the way down. Most people around me have longer legs than me, even if they are shorter in stature, so I guess you can give it a try, too! Take a measurement of your inseam length to get started

Thanks – and thanks for the reminder that we have been here before… I probably just need to get a 36’er and be done with it! These pictures have helped though.
For anyone’s future reference, there is some other discussion on this here:

I admit that I have a nice commute to work :)—o and I can always test new material on the side. My commute to work is almost 5 km and 100 meters in altitude. Depending on the temperature, choose forest or sun

I have to ask… now that you’ve spent some time on a 36er, and a G29, if you had to pick one of the two, which would it be?
I guess I’ll keep the G29 for its versatility, but that does not diminish my love to a 36er!
(I hope someday my answer could be a G36 )

Having done g29 at 9kg (it was not a light build, 3" tire, handlebar, brake, etc), 36, and UL 29" at 4kg. I’m with you in the g29. It has the speed of a 36 and tires and rim options to choose what you want it to ride like. I like my light 29, but it averages 16kmh average and a bit of extra speed would be nice.

So this photo is from 6 years ago and one of my last Muni rides before an accident Community to work on my mountain bike of all things on a shared cycle path that was being widened and the workers had left an unmarked hole, which one front wheel dropped into framing into the air over 10 m high and landing of approximately 15 m further down the hill headfirst.
This is ended up with Me having a severe traumatic Brain Injury.
I tried riding this unicycle after the accident, and it was very frustrating and hard work, and that was the end of my unicycling.
Until A few months ago after talking to a unicycling doctor friend in New Zealand, and a couple of Brain specialists that I’ve started researching in ordered a new KH 19 inch unicycle for me to start causing my brain to have to work hard to Balance again. The plan is go for 10 minutes and have 20 minute naps.
More photos to come.
Life still goes on, despite severe injuries.

Yes, that’s true. It’s awful to hear this but it’s also good to hear that you want to come back on the uni again. It’s hard work but it makes you stronger and kepp working in progress it’s good.

I know the case of a customer of mine who had a serious accident. He was hit by a car and suffered severe back and brain injuries. The doctor said he would remain in a wheelchair forever. But bit by bit he learned to walk again, later to ride a unicycle. He never gave up and much later he sent me a video of him unicycling across the frozen Lake Sils. It was a small miracle and a lot of the progress he made was because of the unicycle training

Thank you
Thanks, I’ll not improve and probably end up with CTE from having had so many concussions, since the early 70s is a kid racing motocross.
But as you said, you can only try and I’m trying to keep my brain active and not deteriorate.
Unfortunately, I cannot afford to have another concussion, so will not be Muni riding ever again but next will be 20 years since I started riding a basic bike (unicycle) and I’ll also be timing 60 years old at some point.
I’m not riding bicycles outside (to dangerous with that space wheel) but one wheel we all know is safer and mentally challenging)
This is one of my favourite Uni parking racks in Taupo, New Zealand.

Took the opportunity to ride in the rain from the tropical storm we got passing through. Strange weather for our region. Tons of fun.

Nice ride. In my town it’s too Hot 45 Degrees in the sun. you can’t go Unicycling because it’s too hot for riding. I also hope the Autumn is coming sooner in our town.

So, on vacation in Toronto area, a local unicyclist that I met through Strava, Zachary Wells, rode from his place with a spare unicycle in hand. Then the two of us rode around a place called Evergreen Brickworks. Lovely ride. This video he shot of me showcases a lovely city view what you see when you get to the top of the hill.
