  1. so i was wondering what are some of the side effects that you guys have
    that unicycling has caused.

    here are mine.

    1. i can balence on the back 2 legs of a chair for a over minute

    2. i can balence on my bike stopped for a long time

    3. people cant trip me as much

    4. i can balence on one foot with my eyes closed for almost a minute
    (try it its harder than it seems then ask you non unicycling firends to
    do it😄 )

    5. i can dirtbike alot faster and im better at snowboarding.

    what are your side effects?

  10. My calves have been inflated like balloons. I'm not normally
    narcissistic, but when I'm wearing shorts and happen to walk past a
    mirror, I stand on my tiptoes to see those muscular contoured calves
    bursting through.

    I can ride a bicycle up hills now. Speaking of that, when riding a
    bicycle I seem to forget that I can coast on it, and that it has
    brakes.

    The enigmatic feeling that I used to get when I saw somebody riding a
    unicycle has long since gone. And seeing a circus or street performer
    riding a unicycle... seems to look utterly ridiculous to me now.

    I always get puzzled why I see people juggling at unicycle
    meetups/conventions too.

  12. im making a uni out of an old push bike, im not to sure that it is going
    to work but its going to have gears a brake and be able to free wheel i
    have a thread on it.....
    http://www.unicyclist.com/forums/showthread.php?t=57929 ..... instead
    of just walking the bike up the garden to grind it up i rode it and
    found a bad side effect of riding a uni, i only rode the bike for maybe
    40 meters but it felt realy weird i forgot i could steer with the
    handle bars so colided with most of the trees in my garden and i didnt
    stop pedaling as i fogot i could, i think i will try riding a bike
    again tomorrow to make sure i still can and because it felt so weird

  16. After 31 years of unicycling I can honestly say I know more skills than
    when I started and am still learning more.

    Therefore, because of unicycling, I only get better with age.
