  1. I am looking for a uni stand that would work for my 29'er. I'd like to
    have it in my office at work so that uni would be nearby but not laying
    on the floor or propped against the wall.

    The stands that uni.com has are for smaller size wheels. Anyone know
    where I could get one suitable for a 29'er or if there is a simple way
    (stress is on 'simple' here) to make one?

    thanks

    Perhaps string a colored rope from the suspended ceiling joints...

  4. Erin-

    You're a sissy. I just idle my Coker at my desk after I've ridden in for
    the day. Why get off of it at all? I thought you were tougher than that.
    Maybe they have some silly, restrictive code where you work that doesn't
    permit you to unicycle at the same time. I'd quit if I were you.

    Good point Harper, a job isn't worth keeping if you can't do it while
    uni'ing.!

    That said, I did bring a uni into my recent 6 weeks of course selections
    with grade 9's. It was my opener and the lead in to my theme for the
    year, which was 'balance for the future'.

  6. The new KH-24 won't fit in a standard stand either. The guitar stand is
    an excellent idea, I have one at home in the attic I think. I'll try it
    out tonight and see if it works and let ya'll know.

  8. I hang my uni off a 'hockey gear' (http://tinyurl.com/6fr4n) stand at
    home and work. It's nice because it also has space to hang my helmet
    and gloves.

    Thread jack, please forgive -

    Did you ride it in the classroom? I'm going to do a speech on
    unicycling but don't know if I should bring it in or just talk about
    it...

    Phil? Will it work? I'm still interested. 😄

  15. I've widened the curved bit (just bent it a bit further) at the top of
    my unicycle.com stand and it just about holds my nimbus 28" now. Its far
    from ideal though.

  16. For those wondering about the Solo Bike Holder, try this link:
    http://tinyurl.com/69c2u
    The one originally posted had too many "http://"s in it. For some odd
    reason it made my Firefox browser go to the Microsoft homepage.

    That Solo rack looks pretty cool in its simplicity. Of course you need a
    wall, and a unicycle will hang upside down, but it could be great in the
    garage or apartment.

    I never use unicycle stands myself. I have a couple and I use them once
    a year, when I do my show in the middle of the street at the Modesto
    Family Bicycle Day. It's a wide street, so I have to fill up the space!
    At work, my unicycle leans against the wall.

  17. The solo rack looks sweet in its simplicity. Won't work on our cinder
    block school walls though and my office is sooooooo small there is no
    room to lean it against the wall there so I am planning on standing the
    uni in the hallway outside of my office. The hallway, in contrast to my
    office, is wide and spacious. (Go figure 1950's architecture.) The uni
    stand would insure the uni is upright thus looking its best.

    Just be sure you can keep an eye on it. You never know who might find
    it just too tempting.
