  1. Hi! I'm new to this. I want to buy my first unicycle. My
    question is: How do I choose the right size of unicycle? Is
    the difference in wheel diameter the deciding factor or is
    that a matter of preference? My inseam is 32", I'm 5' 10"
    tall. Any recommendations as to manufacturer of a decent
    beginner's make?

  2. I would strongly suggest a Black Torker as the first uni.
    They're inexpensive and good quality. As for size, I found
    it easier to learn on a 20" wheel, then I switched to a 24".

  3. Black torker all the way. 20 or 24, I don't think there is
    much of a difference in tearms of learning time. If
    anything, the 20 might be a little faster to learn on, but
    the 24 is much faster to ride.

    Coker, Coker, Coker, Coker...

    Just kidding, learning on a Coker is for crazy people.*

    Learning goes fastest on a 20".
