It's kinda freaky though because
- You both speak english fluently
- You're both good buddies
- You both learned on the same unicycle
- You're both members of this forum

Yeah, what's weird is we both have the same tyre too.
A 2.7" Maxxis High Roller.

Cue Twighlight Zone music.
Or X Files music if you're under 30.

Started at age 14 on a 16" Troxel with hard plastic tire. Piece of crap, very user-unfriendly. No idea how long it would have taken me to learn on a "real" unicycle but I spent six weeks with that one. I could ride about 30', but when I started trying to make turns, the thing broke due to its poor design. I was unable to repair the design flaw to keep the wheel from stopping against the fork.

Fast forward three years to age 17. My neighbor has a Schwinn Giraffe (20" wheel). After much trepidation, I finally started trying to relearn on that. I spent 45 minutes riding away from the hood of a car to where I could go where I wanted and cover some distance. About a week later we attempted to ride 10 miles, which brought me to my first experience with severe crotch damage and painful urination...

The first unicycle I owned was also a Schwinn Giraffe. Later I got a 24" Schwinn.
