Ride Without Pedaling?

You dont need a freewheel to go fast look at big wheel unicycles or even
geared ones (i wouldnt advise them to learn on though). With a
freewheel you could go fast but it is hard to keep your balance, I
would look in to buying a Coker or Nimbus 29er.

You'd need a brake too, otherwise stopping would be interesting...:p

With the kind of riding you'll likely be doing for a couple years, and
the riding you will just about always do on long distances, keep in
mind that the unicycle has just three points of control the pedals the
seat. If you reduce the direct link between the pedals and the wheel by
decoupling them from the wheel, you loose two of three elements of
control making unicycling extremely difficult.

More advanced riders learn to leverage the crown with their feet and
use the seat-butt contact point as a fulcrum which enables them to do
things like ride with one foot, and even coast! But this isn't used to
make commuting-type distances easier generally. Using the hands and
feet directly on the wheel is another more advanced way to control the
wheel. These skills are called wheel walking and gliding.

I'd ride my coker to work more, but I have to drop my kid off at
school, which is hard on a unicycle. 🙄

Good luck and enjoy the ride!!

yeah, the picture above is really close to what you want, but i was
searching around on google and found a guy that made a unicycle that
you cn pedal then stop, but keep going like a bike, umm or you can
wheel walk, dont need to be pedaling then =p

the freecoasting uni wouldnt be bad for commuting but if you rode 10
miles to work you would get there and and have 6 pack abs burning soo
bad you would want to die. well maybe not that bad but you will prolly
be cut up from crashing alot. a hand brake would be recommended, and a
wheel bigger then the 16" i got to test out.
