  1. ive been unicycling for 5 days and im getting better but it seems that a
    lot of the time my unicycle go side to side like swerves, i think it may
    be my hips causing it but not sure any idea?

    thanks

  2. Are the swerves timed with your petal strokes ...?

    It wont take long before those 'swerves' go away. IMO, Its due to leg
    muscle tension on your petal strokes. Just give yourself more time.
    Riding will become almost effortless soon 😄

    It will become less with more experience, but every unicyclist will
    usually ride a wiggly line. Sometimes when I go out riding with my
    daughter, we'll ride through a puddle and do a contest who can leave
    the straightest tyre track. Mostly she wins. Completely straight is in
    theory doable but takes effort and practice, and not something to
    strive for in normal riding.

  7. yeah, the 'swervy' bits are part of riding
    if it's extreme tho, it could be an indication that u're sitting
    slightly too upright
    try leaning forward just a teeny lil' bit and u'll probably find the
    swerving will smooth out appreciably
    u can also test this by riding up a very slight incline

    welcome to the fora and to unicycling

    that's one more of us and one less of them
