If it's raining and I'm riding the coker, i just turn it upside down and
carry it like that so the tire doesn't hit the ground and make a mess.
If i'm not riding my coker then yeah, like everyone else says. 😄 😄 😄

If you fail at unicycling or unicycle tricks, try again, when you try
again. You will never fail.

I usually hold the saddle and wheel it around, if I feel the need to
carry it, i usually grab one leg of the frame near the top where it is
perfectly balanced and carry it around like that. I put it on and angle
do the wheel doesn't jab into my leg.

That works, but it puts some sideways stress on the bearings which
isn't the best thing for them.

the sideways forces on the bearing just by its own weight should be
pretty negligable compared to doing big and long sidehops

Do you know in some movies people carry the unis on their backs? Like in
Under No Influence and Into the Thunder Dragon trailers.

How do they do that? Do they take off the pedals or something like
that? Or do they make some special strap arrangement?

My friend Dumpweed does that sometimes. As far as I can remember, he
puts one pedal over his shoulder, and hooks the frame into the stretchy
straps on his camel back/backpack.

In ITD, Kris uses a snowboarding pack to strap his uni to for hiking up
mountains.

my friend and i rode 7 miles from my house into town on bicycles and
staped our unis to our backs with camalbaks(backpacks). But since we
were riding bikes we had to put the seat up and hook the pedals on the
bottom of the pack, (not upside down like in those movies). It worked
alright.

When you guys go unicycling like into town or something how do you
carry your unicycle when you go into a shop?

I usually leap off my unicycle near the door of a shop and leave it just
inside the door. I live in a relatively small community and although I
have had an expensive unicycle stolen from my house before, I don't
worry about locking up cos most people will not make it very far if
they have a go, and if someone was to steal it in public someone else
would probably stop them for me. Carrying a lock would suck- extra
weight to deter dishonest people. I seldom have trouble leaving my
unicycle in shops. At christmas an over-zealous security gaurd deemed
it his job to prevent me from taking my unicycle into Pak'n'Save.
Whenever I put it down he would take it outside to the bike rack where
it was not so close to the checkouts and the public eye. He insisted he
was doing his job to keep out skateboards and bikes- I eventually just
did my shopping with his promise to watch it- even though he was not
there by the time I finished. There aren't many parts on a uni- surely
you can find something to grab- just watch your fingers don't get
caught between the spokes and the frame!

I have an old skateboard bag thats meant to let you strap a skateboard
onto it, I just toss it in the Deck straps.

As a ski bum I got used to carrying a pair of skis up mtns for hours at
a time. While some folks strapped them on their packs, I found it
easiest just to lay them over one shoulder, tips forward, with the
bindings and most of the weight behind me. Then I'd just rest my hand
over the tips, just sort of counter balancing them.

I carry my uni the same way, with the seat in front of me, the
seatpost/frame on my shoulder, and the wheel in back. Of course, I
always try my hardest to ride up whatever hills I have to climb, but if
I fail to ride it, that's what I do...

Edit: Doh! Sorry, this is NOT how I carry it in a store, but how I
carry it over un-muniable terrain. Maybe I should read the first post
more carefully.
