I wish I was brought up to unicycle... then I'd be so much better now 🙁
The ride looked like good fun for both of you 🙂 , and I expect to see
him doing that drop off the tree stump next time... :p

Wow, so commendable! I cannot wait until I have kids. To see you two
riding side by side in the mountains and snow would be a fantastic
sight for a passer by. And his stuffed animals in his pack!? How cute.

Those are fantastic photos! Congratulations to both of you. I remember
my son's first Muni ride well - he had just turned 7...now he's going
to be 16 next month. The question for you is, how long are you going to
be able to keep up with him?! I sure can't anymore.

Ride everywhere and never just ride anywhere. If you can ride where you
are going within a hour, do it, and if you can do a trick 50-75% of the
time do it along the way.

How inspiring! I just bought my daughter her first unicycle, but don't
expect she'll be ready to even try riding it for a year or more. Your
pictures and story have me very excited to see that day come!

stud muffin 6 year old. Unfortunately I'm the one teaching my father.
The back pack contents made me laugh. That looks like a totally fun
ride.

If at first you don't succeed... maybe skydiving isn't your sport

I am jealous!: waiting for the same thing to happen with grand-son or
grand-daughter but none for the moment wishes to learn uni/muni ....
so this week we just had a ride with grand-son on bike and me on uni
...
hurrah for Noah!
