Depends on what you want to spend.

Id suggest a 24" torker LX or somthing.

Have fun!

Kappo,

I just walked the same path about a month ago. Am 53, hadn't ridden
since I was 15. Sat on one at a bike shop to make sure I still knew
what "right" felt like. Then decided to go for it.

After looking around, I got a Torker LX. It is a nice machine for the
money. It came right back for me and I am enjoying it. The seat style
of the U-shape is new to me (mine had an old derailleur seat on it) but
I am getting used to it. Seat padding is not good enough for long rides
(over 3 miles) and I may build an air seat.

I figure this is probably a mid life thing and I can't afford a
Corvette, won't wear a gold chain, and wouldn't think of an affair...so
unicycle it is!

All the best. Welcome back.

Also, if you plan to cover some distance a 24" wheel is a good plan.

Look on eBay. I got a Torker LX 24" for $70 + shipping.

24" is a good general size for you, and the suggested Torker is
excellent value for money. If the virus really catches you, you'll
shortly be buying more specialised uni(s) anyways - but what type is
hard to say now. (BTW, I'm 51.)
