    Hi,

    I've been taking my girls (8,6 and 5) to "uni-night" for a little over
    a year now. The two older girls are now riding well and our youngest
    is starting to learn thanks to one of our club members cutting down the
    frame of a 16" Torker to fit her. It's very exciting, although I
    rarely get much work done on my skills because the kids need help.

    The last few weeks my wife has been coming along and actually trying to
    learn (her sister-in-law made some comment about how women lose their
    ability to balance after having kids.....that was enough for her get
    motivated and prove that her sis-in-law was full of baloney). The
    possibility of the entire family riding is looking more and more
    probable, so I took an extra step to raise the odds of it
    happening......I bought my wife a unicycle!! It arrived today and she
    was pretty excited. I can't wait until she's breaking out the long
    rides. This is so fun!

    My brother and my dad can ride, and my mom was trying persistantly to
    learn last fall. When the weather get's warmer she'll probablly take it
    back up again.

    But your family is bigger than ours...

    Word of warning, Bob.

    I bought my 40 year old wife a unicyle, so she could ride with the rest
    of the family. It made her pregnant.

    Or she got pregnant to get out of learning...or something like that.

    Hmmm. Time for a visit to my urologist.

    I think Jethro is leaving out part of the story...

    If I bought my wife a unicycle, she would just give me a dirty look.

    No, not for that reason. It's because there are already
    thirty-something of them out in the garage. She had one; we won it at
    the raffle at NAUCC a few years back. But that one got sold to a needy
    kid. She might actually get back into learning this year. But I don't
    want to set any expectations... 🙂
