I bought one of these 5 months ago, and have to say that I think it’s great. (So great, in fact, I started a thread on it at the time)
I used it quite a bit in my training for Ride The Lobster as I found it gave a good workout to a lot of muscles that just riding alone didn’t do.
I’m not sure that it will do much to help unicyclists balance though - as unicyclists we have very good balance to start with, plus we have access to something that will gives more physical feedback than just a red dot on the tv. It is good, however, for monitoring and tracking your progress though.
Crashing, I appreciate your wifes thoughts, but have to say that these are not a problem for me. I do talk back to the screen a lot when I’m being nagged, but apart from that I think the ‘game’ works well. It would be nice if you could upload your own music to work out too though as the same tunes do get a bit repetitive.
