Well we're glad that you're so excited. And that you just can't hide it.

Welcome to the world of unicycling. Feel free not to answer, but where are you from and what kind of unicycle are you planning to order?

Cheers,

The whole "losing control" bit goes without saying...

You're missing the fact that Unirama may dismount on each corner, carefully turn the unicycle to face down the next street, and then remount and continue on.

Or, you literal minded, pedantic, unimaginative person, you, that Unirama can do gradual turns but is working on the finer points of turning.

Or it may be something else.

By the way, Unirama, the posts below were also made by Rhode Island unicyclists looking for others in RH to ride with.

Thread 1
Thread 2
Thread 3

I'm sure, to repeat a tired joke, that you're all within walking distance of each other.
