Hi There.
Anyone who's ever tried to get onto a handrail or other object
like it unassisted has had more difficulty getting onto it then actually
riding it, I'm sure. The same has always been for mer. Up until today. I
figured out a way to climb up onto a rail and raise your unicycle onto
it unassisted by any outside objects except your unicycle. It's easy and
works well.
Here's how to do it: Find one or preferably two support poles for the
rail you wish to ride. Rotate your unicycle wheel so that the pedals are
vertical. Then, place the unicycle on the rail so that the rail fits
between the crank and the tire. The tire should rest on the pole(s) and
you hsould be holding the frame close to vertical. Now, pull on the seat
so that the tire is pressed against the support pole and the crank is
pressed against the rail. Continue applying this force and then just use
the seat and frame of the unicycle as a support for climbing up onto the
rail. It's that simple! Once you're on the rail you simply stop pressing
on the seat and the unicycle ocmes loose and you can lift it up onto the
rail and mount and ride🙂 .
Happy rail mounts. Also, please post if you've already heard of this
method or have a better one of your own. I think I'm the first, but I
very well could be wrong.

Don't you think it's a cruel irony that acting like a G.I. Joe in the
army can get you a Medal, while playing with one can get you thrown
out?
