A rootbeer unicycle...who'da thunk. 'tis not mine, but it ain't bad...I think it's got a profile racing hub, one of the better ones you can get on a unicycle...

Unicycles make me laugh. And why the hell were you browsing www.unicycle.com?

There were two dudes on uni's at Plattekill this past weekend ripping it up. Amazing the stuff they were riding on a unicycle!! You need wicked leg strength to ride those things.

Well if you looked at my avatar and my sig, you might figure out why .

a lot of it isn't just brute leg strength, more endurance, considering you can't coast and all. well, not very easily anyway. It does take brute strength to go up a very steep hill though.

look at me with my 1:1 ratio ....

One of the kids riding a unicycle at Plattekill had a full blown mullet. Shaved up front, 4 feet long in the back, with no transition stage, just went shaved to long. It was, ummm, different.

 

[arboc!]

yeah... uni-folk are weird....

Does it come in Candy Apple Red?

I can ride a unicycle. I rode one to class on our very hilly campus for most of last year, and took it on some short trails. It's a Schwinn, and it has a Specialized 24x2.7 DH tire, race face cranks, and Odyssey black widow pedals. Man, unicycles suck. You can't go fast, and mine was very uncomfortable. Besides, they're ugly. Guys who are good at it are cool, but everyone else, myself included, needs to steer clear. They belong in the circus. I might ride mine again with a costume on at Farmer's Market for giggles. Or at Halloween.

why did you build the said machine, if you think its stupid

They belong in the circus.

All great arguments, you make a strong case

Man, unicycles suck.

So what you are really saying is that unicycles suck because you have not invested enough time to be good on it?? As I was saying....... :nuts: :love:

 

[bikenweed]

I say, for me, they suck because they are boring, slow, and uncomfortable. I can hop up stairs, down them; I can ride up pretty steep hills, and down some kinda rocky stuff. I am not a beginner, nor am I an expert. I have no desire to be a unicycle expert. No matter how good you get, a regular bicycle still goes faser, has more flow, is more comfortable, and allows greater distances to be covered. I have more fun on a regular bicycle. Props to the guy who likes them. I'm over it. I'm just stating my opinion cuz the thread starter asked what we thought. I hope you like riding yours

 

[arboc!]

noah is pretty good.... that uni-360 will be sick.....

 

[Duffle]

Eh, I've never had much luck with bikes, but unicycles have worked out well...I'd say they're anything but boring, you don't have to go slow, and comfort, well that's just a matter of your seat ;-) (Schwinn seats suck). And you get to laugh at djp.1 while riding up a steep hill. *smirk*.

*shrug* to each his own, and no "didja lose your other wheel" comments. muah.
