After I gave a bried demo at work, a colleague commented today on the sense of balance required to ride a unicycle. I commented back that I think most people have it in them to learn if they put their minds to it and take the time to practice.
So here's the question. Does anybody actually know of anyone who failed to learn to ride after putting in sufficient time? "Sufficient time" is, of course, a subjective thing. But aside from those who simply give up after a few hours or a day or so, I'm curious if anyone knows of someone who just couldn't learn to unicycle.
i got a unicycle for christmas it took me about 3 weeks to learn proficiently my girlfriend has been riding for nearly 3 months and hasnt even managed to roll a rew rotation of the pedals yet! but shes determined so she wont give up until shes got it.

It's a matter of definition. I'm tempted to say that someone who failed to learn just hasn't put in sufficient time. The required time varies largely across the population. He or she felt that the investment in time and effort was too large to continue trying. But had he or she persisted, he or she would have learned to ride. (Disregarding persons with clear physical or mental disabilities.)
