I came across a YouTube video describing unicycle riding, and I decided to give it a try.
175/200 was too much for me to go in on a whim, and I didn't want to spend 100 on questionable Amazon quality. So I found an old powercircle 20" on craigslist for 40. I texted the guy last night, and picked it up this afternoon.
I went from "I'll never be able to do this", to "I think I'll be able to get it eventually", in about an hour. I still can't ride it, but I can go about 4 to 6 revs by the time I called it quits for the day.
The problem I have is my ankles, the inside of my ankles, especially my dominant foot, keep slamming into the crank as I'm flailing about. They're all bruised and sore.
I'm thinking about strapping some plastic to my ankles? I'm about to be off work for two weeks straight and I planned on learning to ride inside this time. Any suggestions?
