Building a DIY unicycle from a scrap 20" bike.

This is a video of my first unicycle build. I am pretty happy with the result.
If you are into building bikes I have videos on building a cargo bike, a side by side tandem, a 16" triple for the kids, and coming soon a couple of 20" swing bikes, check them out!. I hope you enjoy this build.
Thanks Barry

Well I really got a kick watching you build the unicycle. I’m 73 and I rode one of those in my younger days. I rode it all over the place. Thinking about building one . Might not be a great idea,but who knows. At least the grandkids would like trying it.

Thank you Ronny! Like you I had one that I rode a lot. I have mostly lost that skill. I can ride straight a little ways but that’s about it. Make one for the grandkids but us old people need to let go a little.

Thank you for the kind comment and I am glad you enjoyed the video!
You might just have to make your own unicycle and then your wish will come true!

Cool build. You should have kept it and rode it. A unicycle is is very good exercise. I built my first unicycle as a kid using a tricycle wheel. Now 60 years later in my seventies I put thousands of miles on my 36" unicycle.

I still have it and while I don’t ride it a lot I do ride it occasionally. I have gotten much better but not real consistent yet. It is harder physically than one would guess. So just a short riding secession will give me a good blow. If you ride a lot you must be in good shape!
Thanks Barry

How does your channel not have a million subscribers?! This is awesome stuff.

[@barrylukebuilds7894]

KK Those are mighty kind words. Rule #1 for building a channel is to stick with one subject. I don't follow that rule very well.

With time you get to realize old people actually have good advice :)

Sometimes but not all ways. Got to keep an eye on us old folks!

I enjoyed watching that. Yes, one can buy a used unicycle for cheap, but that's beside the point, isn't it!?.
