My favorite thing so far is all of the progress I have made. Ok, admittedly not as fast as some other, more talented, younger person might have made, but it is all mine. I definitely think that mountain bikers could benefit from another benefit, better balance front to back. This should help them from wasting energy from imbalance. Interested if this is real. I don’t know any mountain unicyclers here, so I need to convince the local bike store owner to ride with me, or that is what somebody told me should be my plan. I don’t know. I don’t think he needs better balance front to back though, so I need a better plan. I may try to somehow get him watching your channel!
Progress should be celebrated! There’s always going to be someone better but that doesn’t take away from your improvements! Hey yeah, send them this video or something you think they’d connect with! I love biking and to have the ability to challenge myself on a unicycle too has had such an effect on me as a person. It’s such a blast 😁. I bet you can convince him. He can advocate for it in your community and create more customers 🤣😉
I have a bike because I broke my foot falling off my unicycle. Also it helps me to get to work much faster than my unicycle and my bike is fixed gear so it's still a challenge to ride. Also like you said riding unicycle helps you to be a better bicyclist
I’m sorry to hear you broke your foot! That’s rough… yeah a fixed gear would be a good rehab when you get to that point (if you’re not in that stage of recovery already). I’m unsure if riding a unicycle helps you be a better bicyclist but it does remind you of the luxuries you do have when biking. Which I found to make biking, and unicycling, both more enjoyable honestly
Unicycling offers many advantages ever MTB: a uni is cheaper, easier to maintain and easier to transport. And a uni is safer because its slower and you are already upright. Yes ive had many bumps and scrapes, but i dont think ill ever slam into a tree at 30 km/h and be hospitalised, like MTB riders have.
I agree David. I’m not too confident saying a uni is safer in all scenarios, but I definitely agree the general risk for serious injury on a bike is much greater than a unicycle due to the speed. And good points about transporting a unicycle. I’ve had a few instances where airport personnel asked if there was a bike in my checked luggage and I said “nope, it’s a unicycle” and they don’t charge extra. Plus it’s smaller so it fits in a somewhat normal bag - SOMEWHAT normal hah
Yeah, as soon as we get on a unicycle, the world transforms into an obstacle course. Enjoyed your vid as usual. Thanks!
I agree! I like the way you think
Maybe your best video yet! Amazing perspective offered.
I appreciate that! It took me a long time to make. I would love for it to open up some discussions
Excellent points made, Dan. Thank you!
🙏🙏🙏
