Unicycling myths

[OneTrackMind]

@Klaas Bil

When you hit a bump, both pedals will rise an equal amount because of it (not regarding the “orbiting” motion of the pedals which is expected anyway, bump or not). So assuming you have both feet on the pedals, the uni pushes up against both legs equally, the effect on forward speed being neutral. Similarly for a dip, the effect is also neutral.

Yes, assuming you have the weight equally on both pedals.

With experience, if you see the bump beforehand, you compensate automatically.

Maybe you should take a look at the thread I started about riding in the dark.
