  1. so i was just unicycling and advertising for the bike sale for the bike
    club im in
    and this guy stops me and asked me if i could ride in a gym
    i said i think so
    so he made me show him i did some circles and jumps
    and he stopped me and was like would you want to work for me and
    unicycle at the half time for basketball games
    i just throw t shirts at the audience and ride around

    so i just got hired at my college to unicycle for halftime
    and they are buying me new pedals and a tire
    and it goes towards my work study
    im so happy

    but what pedals should i get to avoid scratching gym floor because i
    already bought a white tire thanks

  2. Well you cant really fail with some plastic pedals. but you could also
    get some of those pedal protectors from UDC. those will keep your pedal
    from scratching the ground. That and you can git them is your school
    colors too, your employer guy might like that little extra touch. heres

  5. the white non marking pedals that go on miyata (spelling?) cycles are
    safe for gym floors. They're cheap on unicycle.com

    when i flex both arms one looks puny next to the other. Mind you it was

    And maybe playing a little too much with the shuttlecock as well?

  13. switching pedals takes 51 seconds and a wrench...no big loss to switch
    for what you need to do and switch back

  14. My first job, 25 years ago, was handing out fliers to advertise a new
    restaurant while riding my unicycle. We met beforehand to discuss
    wages. The guy was fairly new to this country and clearly unsure of
    what would constitute a fair salary. He tentatively suggested $10 an
    hour, and my dad and I could barely keep from cracking up. We were
    thinking that $5/hr would have been nice but might have settled on $4.
    Minimum wage at the time was $3.35.

    I pocketed $75 over the next 5 weekends and enjoyed every minute of it.
    People loved taking my fliers, too, but I'm not sure many of them made
    it to the restaurant, which closed a few years later.
