Reasons for Unicycling.

I unicycle 'cause if I tried to ride a bike I would DIE! (of boredom!)🙂
Seriously, it's the most fun way to get/stay in shape and I love
people's reactions!😎

Motorists give me a lot more respect and room when riding on the road.
More fun and better exercise than bikeing

I do it because of what my signature says. That and it's very fun to
pull up next to a someone riding a BMX/MTB with your coker and all he
does is have his/her eyes really wide open and mouth dropped and ask
why he/she has a training wheel. 😄 😄

Well, for one thing, it's like taking a majic pill for any gravity
sports you do. When I'm getting in regular lunch rides during the
week, I think I'm such a good snow boarder on the weekends. When I
just spend the days at my sedentary job, I just feel weak on the
weekends.

Also, it's just so much more fun than jogging or bicycling.

I uni because I'd done all my sports for years and years, to the point
where improvement was painstakingly slow. Trying unicycling gave me a
sport where I could clearly see myself getting better every day.

Once I could do it, the floating feeling of balancing over one point of
contact got me addicted. And there's always a new skill to learn just
on the horizon.

Plus muni f***ing ROCKS, dude! (See you at Lifestyles!)

I unicycle for a bunch of reasons. Simplicity of the machine. Great
exercise. A great break from the neck, back, and arm strains of
regular biking (but I admit I'm not a regular biker. Today I feel like
I was thrown down a flight of stairs; yesterday I found a great bare
pavement downhill run-in to a 4" snow bank and stamped down a cool
jump. I hit it like 50 times, with probably 40 crashes. Into the
snow, fortunately).

Anyway those are all great reasons but there are moments that make you
really love the sport:
* On the bike path at twilight, with bats swirling all around you :eek:
.. You go slower and quieter than on a bike, so you notice more.
* Making it home after a 13 mile ride.
* Breaking your speed record. Mine was 15 mph, followed by a
spectacular crash (can't call it a UPD, I was expecting it!).
* Riding in places people would claim to be impossible.
* Chicks going "WOW how do you DO that?"
* Successfully helping others ride is quite satisfying.
* Hitting the Zone and just cruising along with virtually no effort.
* Man vs Machine vs Gravity. And the Man wins.

OTOH sometimes it is maddeningly slow if you are just trying get from
point A to point B.

Because it's flying without wings
Because it's mad fun
Because it's great exercise
Because it's a wonderful achievement and a great challenge
Because there's lots of variety that I enjoy - distance, hockey,
MUni(ish)
Because most of the other unicyclists I've met are great people
Because it's different.

It feels like flying.
It's a sport I see real improvement in (other sports, I get better for
awhile, then stagnate no matter how much time I put in).
Funny looks from people
Conversation starter
It works the legs (standing on the pedals; I can't muni yet)
The turning radius is really, really small (hey cornering really
tightly is fun)
I feel tall on my 29" unicycle.

Unicycling is a great core workout. Plus it improves strength and muscle
tone.

Improves balance. This will benefit any and every other sport or
activity.

Improves overall confidence not only physically and mentally but also
socially as you get a LOT of people talking to you about it with a wide
variety of responses.

Fun.

Challenge.

Little kids and Old people love it.

That's all I can think of right now...
