Also on my 36 wheel I carried a full sized carpet shampoo machine home from the store as well. It was much harder to carry than groceries & beer but didn’t get the same laughs.
I’d like to see that one. We need a thread for pics like that.
Once, years back when I used the unicycle for every journey, for shopping, visiting friends, even work stuff: on the occasions I went out without it, I found walking feeling really strange and almost unnatural.
The way feet move when walking is quite similar to the way they move when pedaling the unicycle, so, when I was walking, it felt ‘almost’ right, but not quite.
Absolutely- that’s a big reason I like the unicycle: avoids the necessity that comes with bikes of having to lug a ‘D-lock’ around and spend time locking/unlocking it every time you nip unto a shop.
While unicycles make it totally feasible to carry shopping bags, these days I just use my rucksack- it’s amazing how much weight you can carry on your back on a uni. Don’t particularly like riding with a heavy weight, so I usually just slot in the shopping after the main part of the ride, and find a heavy bag OK just for the short ride home from the shops.
Riding with a rucksack isn’t an advantage of a uni - when at uni ( ) I used to do a shop at the supermarket and carry my purchases home in a big rucksack on a bike.
Though since I last posted on this thread I’ve been on holiday with the family to the seaside and took my uni. Went to do the shop for the week on the uni - took my rucksack, but it wasn’t big enough to carry everything at which point we come to the advantage of a uni as I carried a bag in each hand.
That reminds me of staying in Camp 4 in Yosemite, on a month-long climbing trip in 1992. I remember carrying all my stuff on my uni along an easy trail to our campground, repeated trips back and forth with climbing gear, a haul bag, etc… It was pretty helpful!

Cleaning
Its not really an errand but its still incorporating a unicycle in to everyday life so I thought I would post a pic here
Trying to using a giraffe to clean those high up hard to get bits on one of my motorhomes
Homes? As in two?
Yes… I rent them
Agh! Unicycle included!
Nice! Using a giraffe is way cooler than a ladder and possibly easier. (Depending on your proficiency of course.)
At a price of course
How much to rent your g32
Oh now that’s a precious thing…around £5000 per day and you need to leave your first born child as a security deposit in case your scratch it!!
What if I have no first born child?
Any pets? or maybe a close blood relative? (not too old)
I’ll have a Kid just to ride it, or you can have Shmolagin
lol… that would be a very unusual chat up line!!! Roses are red, violets are blue please may I procreate with you so I can ride a G32!!!
I just used it
Unfortunately I am not very proficient on the Giraffe
