    hey all, I have a freind who just started to unicycle, and
    he says when he is riding his lower back hurts. I have never
    heard of this but im sure someone in here does. Let me know
    how to fix this so I can let him know! thanks

    I think this is normal. You use muscles in your lower back
    when you ride that you don't normally use. Ever seen a
    unicyclist riding with bad posture? Riding practically
    forces you to ride with your back STRAIGHT. Most people
    aren't used to this. After a while he'll get more strength
    in his back and it won't bother him.

    That is my 2 cents.

    i got a friend who has back problems. he doesn't own a uni
    but he rides mine and some other friendssometimes. he can go
    about 10 revs

    Anyway he told his physiotherapist and the physio actually
    recommended unicycling because it strengthens back muscles

    dont know how the physio would have known this

    I used to get major back pains when I rode after just a few
    minutes. Over time the pain started to go away. Now I only
    notice it after a few miles. I also found that a wearing a
    CamelBak when I rode distance helped as well. I think had
    kind of a back brace effect for me.

    So remember kids: If your back hurts when you ride, ride
    some more.
