How many people in your family unicycle?

Are you the only one or did you learn because it is something your family does?

Of the 5 people in my family, 4 ride. The one who doesn't is 5 months old, so we will give him a couple more months to fulfill the family membership requirement.

I promised my mother (may she rest in peace) that I would display her picture wherever I went, but if it is really that offensive to you, I will see what I can do.

edit: I changed it now.

I'm the only one in my family who unicycles. My little brother can ride about 20 metres, but he has stopped practising because he hurt himself bad.... My parents are a bit afraid of unicycling, saying that they will brake their backs and stuff like that.

Two out of three. Me and my 11 year old son do, and my wife is thinking about learning sometime maybe but stop pushing it darn it because that won't make it happen any faster.

My Sisters boyfriend, apparently did. I guess hes sorta family cause hes technically common law now...so I guess he can count to make two. But he doesnt now.

I learned because I don't know why.

I am the only one.

But I have about three people in my fan club.



P.S. - My Main Man Tim unicycles most excellently.
