  1. Hi there,

    I have noticed in a lot of the beginner posts that people always
    suggest that the best foot position is to use the "balls" of your feet
    on the pedals.

    I have come across this many times, and am slightly concerned as I have
    just learned to unicycle using the middle of my feet (just below what
    are known as the "balls" of the feet). I have tried using the balls of
    my feet, but this makes me feel less secure.

    My questions, to any and all who can answer this, are "Is it important
    to use the balls of your feet on the pedals?" and "Why?".

    Is it not possible to use the middle of your feet, like me, and still
    ride proficiently?

    All I want is a simple explanation, which I'm sure many of you could
    give me. Please be gentle, I'm only a rookie to all this! LOL!

    Thanks, in advance, to any and all that offer help and advice!

    Many thanks

    Mark Watson
