  1. How long does it take you to readjust from one unicycle
    to another?

    It seems like some people take quite a while. I can go out
    and do some trials riding, then go out on my Muni, and it
    dont take me long to adjust.

    Joe,

  2. Ride a giraffe for 2 hours, then get on that MUNi!

    a muni and a trials uni are pretty close in size, there is
    not much of a learning curve between the 2

  3. With me, most of the readjustment gets done in the first few
    minutes. To be /really/ at home requires more time.
    Switching unis becomes easier if you do it more often, not
    necessarily right after each other.

    While we're at it, I had a funny experience a few years
    ago. My only regular ride at the time was a 24" Semcycle.
    Then one day I tried a 24" unicycle with an axle that was
    eccentrically placed in the wheel with moderate offset, 2
    or 3 inches off the wheel centre. I found it actually
    surprisingly easy to ride, requiring not more than a few
    minutes to get used to. But then... after half an hour, I
    got back to my normal wheel immediately after it. I
    couldn't ride it at all! I was almost convinced that
    something was severely crooked on my own uni, but
    everything was fine - except myself. It took me a few
    minutes to unbias my reflexes.
