  4. a 20" unicycle is best to learn on though some people choose to do it on
    a 24", then after that it depends on what type of unicycling you are
    going to do.

  7. I don't find there to be a real difference between 20" - 24" to learn
    on, having seen many people learn on both through the unicycling club I
    am in.

    Just ask youself this question...what unicycle do you want to have once
    you can ride?

    24" better for going distances, more versatile, easier to ride on
    unpaved terrain, and in snow

    20" better in confined areas, or for easier freestyle (picture
    gymnastics, figure skating) type tricks.

  8. for starting I would get a 24" That is what I learned on, and I find it
    is much more versatile, because once people now how to ride, they
    usually end up wanting a nice 20" uni, or bigger than 24" also, 24"
    were easier to control for me. I'm about 5' high. I'm sure other people
    will say differently though.
