a unicycling forum...so you proabaly won't get many people agreeing with
you here...

but everyone has a right to their own opinion (even though i do disagree
with you :p )

Bikes, especially the motorized kind, are plenty fun. But they're just
too easy for some of us.

Ride what makes you happy.

Someday I'll get out on a dirt bike again. I've done it once and it was
a total blast! And though it's not much exercise compared to a bike or
unicycle, serious riders get an amazing upper body workout; something I
could really use...

I've been uni-ing around the juggling club's hall once a week since last
November.

At Easter time me and my sister took a trip to my Dad's place; he took
us to Alton Water reservoir and he all hired bicycles for the nine mile
round trip.

I hadn't ridden a bike for over 15 years and thus I was a bit wobbly for
the first 30 seconds, but soon got my bearings again. In fact uni-ing
has beefed up my leg muscle strength and thus I was able to make it
through the uphill sections without dismounting to walk, much to the
jealousy of my companions!

If I had a need to get from A to B and a choice of one or two wheels,
I'd probably go for the bike as at least nobody would shout silly things
at me. I find it far too embarrasing to street-ride a unicycle in
public...

My guess is that he's saying "Hey, I've got 3 cool unicycles, a freeride
bicycle, an Italian road racing bicycle, a dirt motorcycle, and a street
motorcycle. The unicycles are not anything like the bikes." The riding
experience is different on a unicycle than on a bike. Some of the
differences are positive while other differences are negative. I think
that about sums up what he was trying to say.

Riding a trail on a bicycle is indeed different than riding the same
trail on a unicycle. On a bike you can achieve a flow that is much more
elusive on a unicycle. A unicycle doesn't have the speed, momentum and
coasting to get a true sense of flow on a MTB trail. Muni is more about
linking together a whole bunch of little technical challenges while the
bike is looking at the same trail and saying how can I flow through
this. The unicycle can cut corners and take different lines than the
bike. The unicyclist is more willing to stop and ride a little
technical section of the trail over and over again because it's fun.
The bike will just go right on through and in a fraction of a second be
gone. It's a different mindset to ride a trail on a unicycle compared
to a bike.

John

I don't know how you came up with that...
but does it ever sound good !!!

I know he has some cool unicycles because he got them from me. He has a
nice MUni and he does ride off-road. The last one he ordered was a
Coker.

He often sent e-mails saying he loved the unicycles. I know he likes to
unicycle.

I didn't really get the original post either.

I unicycle, ride vintage bikes and ride motorcycles too. All 3 are
cool.
I have had great times on a 250cc dirt bike.
The power and torque is thrilling !
Even my Rupp Roadster II mini-bike is fun.

Anything with wheels...

roller skates, skateboards, bikes, wagons, tricycles, slot cars, models,
Hot Wheels, mini-bikes, go-karts, motorcycles, Hearses,
vintage cars, wheel chairs with Dyno Fireballs,
baby buggies, gurneys, I.V. holders, unicyles, church trucks, etc...

are awesome !!!

At least I hope he is still into unicycling !

That's the way I describe the difference between muni and mountain
biking to the members of the MTB club I'm in. Somehow I have to explain
to them what it is that makes muni fun compared to mountain biking.

I heard a good analogy from Kris. He compared muni to trail running.
In trail running you're looking at where your next foot is going to go.
In muni you're looking at where you next wheel revolution or half
revolution is going to go. That's a good way to describe muni. Most
people can grasp the concept and challenges of trail running even if
they can't grasp the concept of riding a unicycle on MTB trails.
