Help starting club.

Wanna give us a hint, like what country you're in?

If there are local riders, you could find some donations. The nice
thing about "club" unicycles is they don't have to be anything special,
or even especially comfortable. They're a great place for peoples' old
"beater" unicycles to go once the owner no longer needs them.

Don't have more than a couple club unicycles and don't make them too
good. If you furnish nice unicycles, people will not buy their own.
People are more likely to make a sincere effort if they buy their own
unicycles. That way they can practice at times other than club time
and have a bit of pride in their investment to the sport.

People who ride a club unicycle and only practice once a week at club
time usually don't learn to ride very well if at all.

Well, I'm in Madison, Alabama so if you know of any clubs near here,
then that would be great. I just thought that most people might not
want to contribute $100 right off the bat to buy a unicycle. Thanks.

Having a couple club unicycles for people to try is a good thing but
after they have tried a time or two, encourage them to buy their own
unicycle. Don't try to furnish unicycles for everyone.

It looks like Madison is about midway between Memphis and Atlanta. Both
cities have unicycle clubs. If you ever visit, contact the club and
plan for a ride. You can contact the Memphis club at
www.memphisunicycleclub.org.

Good luck with your club. It can be a lot of fun.
