  2. not really. you would not be able to hop, and you would fall off really
    really easy.

    if you find bike pegs that look like 'these'
    (http://www.unicyclist.com/gallery/?g2_itemId=199651), they would
    work🙂

    I'm pretty sure some people have used door thingys. I'd reccomend
    buying some though.

  4. I'm pretty sure someone used L shaped peices of metal they found at a
    hardware store that are related to doors.

  5. You can ride them with pegs, it is just harder. The first ones had pegs,
    then that evolved into the drop down plates. Go for it. It really helps
    if you have shoes that have an arch (not like skate shoes that are flat
    at the bottom) so the pegs will rest in the arch of your shoe. If you
    have flat bottomed shoes you will probably just roll right off the
    pegs.

  7. That sounds cool, can you attach a seat to a BC wheel, therefore making
    a BC...unicycle. Has anyone ever done that? How much do the plates
    cost? It would be awesome to do that to my uni! Though dissapointing
    seeing how far it goes after almost committing suicide after suicide
    mounting(which I can't do)....

  8. IIRC, Spencer has a BC uni - it's featured in one of the videos in his
    gallery. It's cool :-)

    Dave: Just a question. What use is a unicyle with no seat? And no
    pedals!
    Mark: To answer a question with a question: What use is a skateboard?
    Dave: Skateboards have wheels.
    Mark: My wheel has a wheel!

  9. I had one a long time ago but I took it apart because it was my uni
    frame and bc wheel and I wanted both back. It didn't work very well.
