Not much time to ride these days, and not much time to
write the rides up. However, I've now managed 5 short
practice sessions on the ultimate wheel and I have got
freemounting up to about 60 - 75 % and several rides of ten
yards/metres or so. Greatest distance, 16 pedal strokes -
16 metres or so.
Advantages of the ultimate wheel? Half the time, when
you UPD, it goes round in a circle and comes back to
you. The seat bumpers don't come loose, and nor do the
bearing clamps.
However, I confess that the ultimate wheel lacks the day to
day practicality of the conventional unicycle.
More follows.

So many pedestrians tell me I've lost a wheel.
