Wow, that was fast.

[bobby__cole]

I just learned how to ride a unicycle in 1 day:) I almost can't believe it, as it was one of the harder things i've done at first. My friend and I had a competition going, and while she took 6 days, I did it just today. We had a distance of about 200m to ride.

How long did it take others?

[Goats_On_Unicycles]

congrats!
it took me about a month!!

[bobby__cole]

I was just damn determined:p

[wickedbob]

Good job congrats! It took me like 2weeks...

Edit: welcome to the forums!

[bobby__cole]

Well i was doing it for like 3 hours. I didn't just hop on and go.

Edit: And thank you for that:)

[john_childs]

Not fair. You must have used wires or mirrors.

[uni57]

I was just damn determined:pI was too. And several weeks later... I could ride.

[mill_mobile]

It took me about 2 weeks to ride a decent distance comfortably.
Welcome also;)

[elares]

3 years.

[steveyo]

3 weeks.

[James_Potter]

Jebus, took me like two months....

[CKCrowe]

I got on every once in a while, prolly 6 months, bout 10 hours worth of riding lol.

[Matt_V]

I learned in pretty much 1 day aswell.

Everytime I went over to my friends house I would play around on his uni for a few minutes but never really learned to ride it, then one day I practiced for a few hours and all of a sudden I was riding down the street.

[dudewithasock]

About 2 weeks.

[saskatchewanian]

It took me about 2 weeks to be able to ride 200m

I lent my uni to a kid who does bike trials and he was able to do it in half an hour. Its not fair!:)

good job by the way:D

200m in one go? I think that took me about three years. No kidding. My original unicycle fell apart when I was trying to learn to make turns (after about six weeks of on and off practice). I didn't get on another unicycle until three years later. After 45 minutes on that one (a Schwinn Giraffe) I could ride more or less indefinitely. Back during the original learning period, I took one ride on a "good" unicycle, a 24" Schwinn. I think I went about 100m on my one and only try. "My" unicycle was a 16" Troxel with a solid plastic tire and a tricycle wheelset.

[cool-bananas]

to ride 20m took about a week and then after 2 weeks i could ride all the way down my street 500m yay

[dan de man]

Wow,That was fast

[timbob1907]

A few days though.

Edit: wow that doesnt make sense... A few days at most not trying for too long each day.

[torkerdx]

[Jkohse]

Thread title: wow, that was fast!

[tomtrevor]

[kington99]

3 months. And I'm too late for the 'that's what she said' comment.

[monkeyman]

thats what she said......ohhhhhhhhhh!

Dan beat you to it.

Welcome to the forums, Bobby. It took me about 3 weeks to be able to freemount and ride comfortably/turn down the street.

[oneisenough]

I got on every once in a while, prolly 6 months, bout 10 hours worth of riding lol.
yeah about the same for me in 5 months

[uni.rider.13]

3 days for me to learn

[maximus unius]

I spent 9 hours in one day, and I could get about 30 revs after that time.

Then it was time to come in for dinner and I fell half-asleep at the table.

[SAVAGE]

took me a week to learn to ride easily. it all started in my garage.....:)

[Poseidon]

After 2 days I could ride it for 100m.
After 4 days I could ride as far as I wanted until my legs got tired, but turning wasn't easy.
After 5 days, I could turn gracefully, and ride for a long time sustained.

So basically 2 days to learn, 5 days to "perfect*"

*I use the term "perfect" VERY loosly, I'm FAR from perfect on a unicycle.

[burjzyntski]

I have a friend who had never rode one before, and the first time he got on it he rode (flailing/wobblingly) about 40m.


First time on a unicycle!


it took me about 5 days to be able to ride to the end of my driveway (~100ft), and then another 4-5 days to be able to turn and go over the swale.

[Bml1293]

took me about 2 months to learn but i didn't ride a lot. Now i ride a lot more :D :cool:

[skrobo]

am I special, i just got on a rode the thing...
well the very first time my foot slipped off the pedal... but I have never munched it.

[skrobo]

im kidding, 3 days
yeah you guys suck... just kidding, take it as it comes.

[uniman661]

it takes you about 10 to 15 hrs on and off

[sugarloafur]

Took me a few hours to be able to ride. and freemount. I didn't learn by holding on to much.
