  1. If you was to unicycle on a conveyor belt which is rolling backwards,
    would you fall forwards? If you was to be pedaling at the same speed as
    the belt?( you would look like you wasn't moving forwards or backwards)

    You can't get up and try it again if you don't fall first.

    escalator... mucho mucho harder than it looks.

  6. A conveyor belt would be possible, but difficult, rollers wouldn't be
    possible atall. I do fancy trying a treadmill.

  7. I've ridden my unicycle on a tread mill, the only difference is that you
    arent controlling how fast you are going, you cant slow down to try and
    regain balance, other than that its not much different.

  8. Are we talking about a regular conveyer belt? Cause form experience I'll
    tell you that it's the exact same thing as riding a unicycle.. hell,
    I've even ridden down escalators... which is really weird cause it's
    like riding and impossibly long stair-case... It gets hellovah bouncy
    too.

  9. During the summer of 2004, I was on a research cruise and the only
    exercise I got was riding my Muni on the treadmill. It was a nice
    treadmill, adjustable speed and incline. It took some getting used to
    and a bit more concentration than normal but it was a great workout.

  10. Thanks Jim for posting the pic! That does look like the same unicycle
    that holds the current unofficial Cliffside Retrieval record; something
    like 200-300' off the Stevens Trail in my area back in January!

  11. oh yeah... the other side just makes you go SUPAH fast... kindof scary
    but nowhere NEAR as "interresting" as the other... I did it on a 20" I
    bet it's a hoot on a 24". John, you should deffinatly give it a go. 😉

    There were a few of those at the Australian Bike Show where we were
    doing trials demos and Dan (one of the unicycle trials riders) had a
    go. The thing is they offer almost zero resistance!

    Hi John;

    Partly, the frame is the same, but I had the Beast 29er wheel (KH 29
    rim with 190mm profile cranks) for our ride.
