What's it like riding a Giraffe?
If I can ride a uni, what's the main difference (except the
obvious) between riding that and a tall one?
Which one should I buy? One for 400 quid a bit steep or is
it worth the money over breaking a cheaper version?
Thanks for the advice!

I have a cheap 5' giraffe. It's holding up fine. The main
difference in the riding experience in my opinion is how
long it takes to fall. If you can overcome the mental
difference in the riding experience it's not too hard to
ride at all, in fact you have more time to compensate for
loss of balance...you just have to trust yourself. I find my
giraffe easier to idle in a small area. I'd go for the
cheaper one.
