A unicycle is a human-powered, single-track vehicle with one wheel. Unicycles resemble bicycles, but have less complexity. HistoryOne theory of the advent of the unicycle stems from the popularity of the penny-farthing (or "Ordinary") during the late 19th century. Since the pedal and cranks were connected directly to the front axle, the rear wheel would go up in the air and the rider would be moved slightly forward. Many penny-farthing owners discovered they could dispense with the frame and just ride the front wheel and handlebars. Evidence for this theory of development can reportedly be found in pictures from the late 19th century showing unicycles with large wheels. Over the years, unicycle enthusiasts have inspired manufacturers to create new designs, such as seatless ("ultimate wheel") and tall ("giraffe") unicycles. During the late 1980s some extreme sportsmen took an interest in the unicycle and started off-road unicycling (MUni). From Wikipedia under the

Q. I'm a female 110lbs. 5'6" tall. I've always wanted a unicycle and have been thinking about maybe buying one but wasn't sure what size of unicycle (tire, seat, adjustment) I needed. Also do training poles help any or just a hassle to use? Would a rope hanging from a tree to hold onto help with learning to balance? I don't have a lot going on this summer and would like to get out and learn something and get some excerise. I don't mind spending a lot of time trying to learn to ride one. Asked by Duat - Sun May 13 17:03:05 2007 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. most important thing in a unicycle is it's wheel diameter. The larger the wheel, the faster you can go. Some things are easier on a unicycle with a larger wheel, some more difficult. Generally a 20" or 24" diameter wheel is good to start with and close to all purpose. Go to www.unicycle.com and look what exists and what you would like to spend on one. The seats should all be adjustable to your height. Seats can make a lot of difference, mainly how soon your butt hurts, but I woudn't get fancy until you've been riding for a while and figured out what's most important to you. I would go along with the "pick a nice wall" school of learning to unicycle. I don't think a rope would help at all, it will allow you to swing around nicely...and… [cont.] Answered by convictedidiot - Wed May 16 13:35:16 2007 Where can I buy a unicycle in toronto? Q.
