  1. I owned a unicycle several years ago but was never able to ride it.

    Unicycles have always fascinated me and I'm considering getting another
    one to have another go.

    Can anybody advise me on how to learn to ride.

    Thanks

  2. check out the basic riding at http://unicycletips.com/

  3. -sit up straight
    -look forward
    -weight on seat, not pedals
    -pedal in a circular motion, not alternate pushing like on bike
    -start off holding onto something on both sides of you, so you don't
    start crooked
    -tilt forward, let go and pedal really fast, and stay on top of the
    wheel
    -fall.
    -repeat. (x100)

    That's how I did it. Have fun.
