  1. So far i can pedal the cycle 5 times before falling off. 5 is rare
    though usualt 2 to 3 times.
    How do you steer the uni? One of my problems is i keep turning left. I
    am right footed. I lean right but it doesnt stop the turn.

    This was a major problem for me when I started learning. It stuck with
    me for about a month of onandoff riding, not very long sessions, but
    then it went away.

    Don't worry about trying to steer until you can go almost indefinately.
    Once you can go forever, steering kind of comes naturally.

    Most unis should be able to be ridden straight out of the box.
    Sometimes these pesky unicycles will try to mess with new riders. As
    you ride more and get more experience, you will let it know who is
    boss. Soon the right turn or the left turn will disappear.

    Hint to over come this. Make sure that you are putting all of your
    weight on the saddle. Heavy on the saddle, light on the pedals.

    The wide part of the saddle goes in the back, under the widest part of
    you.
