  1. Apologies if its already been mentioned, but I see thaat Tchibo have
    unicycles at the moment - at least my local store has a pile. Priced at £49.50

    My daughter is seriously thinking about one :-(

    I'm trying to put her off as body armour is not included in the price.

    The only body armour she should need for learning is a pair of thick
    socks to minimise the pain when she bashes her ankles on the cranks. As
    soon as she gets the hang of putting her feet in the right place on the
    pedals, they can be dispensed with.

    You only really need to worry about body armour if she gets into trials
    (although I now wear wrist guards for muni and Cokering).

    Anyway, from a quick look at <URL:http://www.tchibo.co.uk/> (without
    being able to inspect the unicycle personally) it looks like a good deal.

    Body armour is less of an issue than wallpaper armour, IME...

    Thanks for the tips.
    If she wants a unicycle she has to promise to decorate the house :-)
