  2. there isn't a lot you can do on them.. easily. I guess you could adapt,
    but i'd just take a 20" with me. Although 12 " have a lot more
    novelty.

    :p

  4. 16 only because it is closer to 20" then the 12" is. I think that the
    12" would be the most moveability

    life is a whole lot more fun when you live it on just one wheel.

  5. why not just bring a 20"??? its so much more versatile that a 12 or a 16
    those sizes are for kids and novlety alone...they serve virtually no
    other prupose. if you need to just take your uni apart to move it
    around and thn put it back together

    Just? Much easier said than done. Sure, it's not "hard" to take the
    seat and frame off, but it would be super annoying to do every time you
    ride.

  7. 12" arent that fun to ride.. you can't lean at all without the pedals
    touching the ground. I'd say go with the 16".
    I've ridden both and the 16" feels more like a slower 20" where the
    12" is just hard to ride and do anything on.

  8. I've ridden both sizes. A 20 is far far better than either. With a
    quick release seat clamp and a good pedal spanner, you can stip a 20
    down to be easily portable in about 1 minute.

    A 16 is a poor subsititute for a 20. It is 20% slower at any given
    rpm.

    A 12 is little more than a novelty toy or (whisper it softly...) a
    circus prop.

    "...some of the basic stuff, like not killing each other, should be
    relatively obvious to anyone."

    John Foss, the unicycling philosopher, goes right to the point.🙂

  9. i think 12 is a lot of fun but it's not good for distance
    16 is better for me

  10. think about how much easier unispins and stuff would be on a 12 inch
    wheel :p

    but seriously, if you can, get a 20 inch because the others are slow
    and the pedals hit the ground. Many brands of small unicycles wont last
    long, because they were designed to be used by small children who dont
    weigh much.
