Hi All,
The unicycling@winternet.com mailing list is now working again!
The unicycling@winternet.com mailing list broke last Thursday. Some e-mail
messages sent to it that Thursday and the following Friday bounced back to
me. I sent these back to the original senders where the senders address
was very easy to determine from the From header. All such bounced e-mail
messages from forum.member posts are attached below. You may want to
resend bounced posts now (See next paragraph).
Note: If you posted your message to rec.sport.unicycling, everyone
reading that newsgroup saw it. However, if you sent it
directly to unicycling@winternet.com (includes forum.member
posts), only I saw it.
Anything sent to the unicycling mailing list from about 22:00 UTC (GMT)
last Friday (19 Oct) until 15:35 UTC (25 Oct) is gone. Sorry.
Again, the list is now working and some unsent forum.member posts are
attached below.
Sincerely,
Ken Fuchs <kfuchs@winternet.com> rec.sport.unicycling proponet &
unicycling@winternet.com list owner

Knee Protection
Hullo all,
I have been unicycling for a few months now, and I am (finally) starting
to do things that could have more painful consequences than my typical
tumbling! I have been using an old pair of roller blade knee pads with a
hard plastic knee cup, and I find that these are excellent for direct hits
to the pavement, but not so good for slides (they slip off). I would
appreciate hearing peoples’ opinions of the knee protection afforded by
Roach DH leg armour. If a Roach (or 661) encased knee cracks into a hard
surface, how well is it protected?
Another option available are Corerat leg armour (these may be a
Canadian/Western North America thing). This armour provides protection for
the front of the leg and sports an attractively skookum knee cup, but
lacks padding for the calf or back of the knee (see www.corerat.com if
interested). If I am intending to participate in simple MUni and urban
uni, would I regret the lack of posterior padding? (it WOULD be cooler?)
Have any unicyclists tried these? What do you think?
I thank you in advance.
andrea
PS. I am short, so all armour brands would likely be fairly long on me
(from the archived posts, I understand that too-short armour can cause
knee exposure problems for the long of leg, but this would not be a
factor in my 5’3" decision!).

I live in very hilly Seattle. I take a 3 mile ride during which I
encounter 4 stop signs, about 40 open intersections, and 4 VERY steep
hills about a city block long each. I make this ride in 18 minutes for an
average speed of 10 mph. There is a lot of speed-up/slow-down for cross
traffic at the intersections. This is a comfortable pace.

Where I come from, sidewalks are pavement. Anyway, this is in the street.
The Big Boy goes too fast for the sidewalk.
