My reply was along the lines of:
"Why cycle ? A motorcycle would be quicker, and a car safer !"

Because if I don't, I might as well go back to bed.

Now, I'm no sports scientist, but I'd say Boo Radley needs to work on
his walking action.😄

I think I was initially attracted to unicycling because it was a
challenge, and I was also learning to juggle at the time so unicycling
fitted in well with that.
I didn't ride much until last year, when I got back into it as a result
of some of my friends at university starting a juggling club and
learning to unicycle.

Now, I would say the main reasons I ride are -
- Because it's fun
- Because it's unusual
- Because it's difficult, but with practice you can do practically
anything!

Although it isn't the reason I ride, this forum definitely gives me
plenty of motivation to ride more and learn new tricks. Before I saw
this forum I thought the best thing that could be done on a uni was
idling!

If the problem is other people giving you a hard time, that's all the
answer you need. Or stuff like:
- To annoy people who can't ride
- To get asked stupid questions
- So I can get there slower

Etc.

If you really want to know why we forum members unicycle, I guess I
could take a very long answer and sum it up into two majors:
1. Fun challenge
2. Great exercise

I've been mountain biking for about 15 years, and no sport has ever
excited me more...until now.

I learned to ride a uni in Oct 05, and my bike is exactedly where I
parked it on that day; and I'm not sure I'll ever ride 2 wheels again.

Ride on.
