How well hung are your unicycles?

Mine are bigger than yours... oh wait. Not that kind of hung... :eek:

iunicycle, I see that yours are hung horizontally when not in use. Isn't
that uncomfortable? And "at any angle" at that! Mine are hung vertically
down when not in use (see picture) and are mostly totally upright when
in use (wanna see a pic?).

To add some missing spacial context to the photos, the unicycles are
hanging between the beams in the ceiling. Imagine that you're laying on
your back on the floor and looking up at the ceiling in his basement.
That's where the unicycles are. One might think, at first, that they
are hanging on a wall. Nope. They're hanging from the ceiling.

pain to remove them tho.

I have two unicycles sitting in the shower, one sitting against the pool
table, and three that are usually either in the boot of the car or under
the stairs. 🙂 I'm now the proud owner of six unicycles, plus I have
someone else's lying around here somewhere. And only in two years of
unicycling...no wondering I'm left with no money! I'm hoping to have a
two wheeler made in the next month or two and my seated hand-driven
unicycle built this year some time. You can never have too many
unicycles.

They seem to like it, although if you leave off two supports, they do
hang vertically, as seen in <http://iunicycle.com/ph/948/15/>. This
chafs the seat side, which wouldn't be good for more than a few seconds,
although I could run the rope out the back and over the back bumper,
which would tilt the unicycle at a slight forward angle.

This height works for my daughter who is now about 5 feet tall, but
higher ceilings or shorter unicyclists might need a slightly more
complicated setup.
I think the solution would be to arrange the string to pull the unicycle
up into position. First one for the seat, then the two for the tire
(connected as a loop through two eye hooks, and extended with a single
rope along the ceiling and off to the side of the storage area). This
would also provide maximum headroom, as you could pull them up as close
as possible to the ceiling. This would be a big help for Cokers as
well. My first attempt to put the Coker up was a little awkward, but the
second attempt worked great.
