    haft to do the best with what you have.

  2. You forgot to mention it's dark! I went to Sweden in November (1983). At
    3:30 in the afternoon, it was already night.

    Stay warm! Check my winter site if you've never seen it (it's old, like
    the rest of my site):

  4. Well, winter has hit with a vengance here on Northern Ontario. We have
    about a foot of snow, after today's dumping.

    Last night I went out unicycling at -18 C and still managed to return
    sweating! I know -18 isn't THAT cold, but we're still getting wound up
    here 🙂

    Also, for those of you who ride in snow, do you often get asked "Isn't
    it too slippery?" or the like? Well, I came up with (what I think) is a
    clever answer: "No, this thing is all-wheel drive" 😎

    Looking forward to more winter riding; bring it on...

  6. Summer, spring, and fall is when I ride trials around here.
    Winter is when I MUni. MUni in the snow is sooo much fun!! Anyone who
    hasn't tried it, should.

    Unfortunately, I don't have a car to get to any good trails, so I have
    to ride to them.... Meaning that I don't get to ride as much as I'd like
    to....

  7. The bad thing about MUNI in the winter here in Norway is that there are
    no trails. There are only ski trails, and the skiers get really angry if
    I ride there. And parts of the winter it is just ice, and I would think
    that riding muni on bare bumpy ice would be quite difficult.

  12. I thoroughly enjoyed my first unicycle ride in some serious snow here in
    Denver. We've been kind of bogged down in some cold weather and the
    streets around my house have been icy for a week and a half. Today it
    had thawed enough that I could take the uni out. Much of my ride was
    still over packed snow and I began to feel pretty comfortable on it. Ice
    was a sketchy issue for me, though.

  14. We've got a nice mix of snow and ice here, not too much yet... Just
    tossed a chain on the uni today... so far no probs! I don't know if
    it's helping, but at the very least it ain't hurting 🙂

    Never kick a unicyclist in the groin... it will only make them grow
    stronger...

    Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total
    obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and
    through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see
    its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will
    remain.
