    Idea i had, post things that you have no clue of an answer to, random
    things, answer other peoples odd questions of saying with history or
    jokes, whatever works 🙂

    i'll start

    ex.
    What is a charm?
    how well does a charm work?
    How does one go about using a charm?
    - a charm is a spell, and works very well, like magic i supose

    edit: now i feel stupid

    ed.hurrell: is there a reason I can't get mine rock hard?
    Danni: If you keep on pumping, it should become rock hard. It might
    have a slow leek.
    kington99: If it won't get hard regardless of how much you pump it,
    you've got a puncture somewhere.
    Me: err what were they talking about?

    what's a scentence? oh, did you mean sentence?

    since this thread is already here, I'll steer the conversation towards
    unicycles.

    Now that more people are using handles on their coker that put them in
    a more bike-like position, I've noticed that balance issues make the
    persons legs go a little bit forward instead of straight down.

    My question is, balancing issues aside, is it more ergonomic/energy
    efficient to have the pedals/cranks straight down from the riders hips
    or have the pedals/cranks forward of the riders hips?

    Thank you for bringing this thread onto the topic of the forum.

    You really don't have much of a choice. If you're bent forward into an
    "aero" position, your feet have to come forward too. The bottom line is
    that your center of mass has to be relatively centered above the axle.
    As long as the pedals are on the axle, pedal position will be a
    function of body angle unless you add weight to the cycle. This can
    work for loaded touring, or otherwise carrying stuff on the uni, but I
    wouldn't want to add weight to it to improve ergonomics, it would kind
    of defeat the purpose.

    The other option is to move the pedals away from the axle, 'something
    like this' (http://www.unicycling.com/garage/recumben.htm). Now you
    have your feet out front, but the unicycle is a lot harder to ride, and
    still heavier...
