Uni riding in the house

With winter coming here in PA, I am looking for alternatives to riding in the
cold and snow.

Has anyone tried to uni on a set of roller that are intended for riding a
bicycle in a house? Could anyone try it and let me know how it works? Our local
bike shop does not have rollers in stock so I am unable to give it a try.

Thanks in advance,

Rollers don’t really work on a unicycle, unless you have something solid to hold
onto. Unlike a bike, you need to move forward and back to maintain balance. It
might be fun to try, though.

You live in Pennsylvania, get used to the idea! Or move (I moved). Riding in the
snow can be a lot of fun, especially if you have an old beater unicycle to do it
with. Old Schwinns are great for this because if they rust, you can just steel
wool it off later.

Wouldn’t you fall sideways? If the wheel was supported as with a bike there
would be np point…
