What should I do without a uni?!

I'm still not a unicyclist but I'm really eager to become one. I won't have a unicycle for about another ten days, and the wait is gonna kill me! I was wondering - is there anything I can do while waiting to prepare for the uni? - maybe I can at least develop some balance while I wait...

Enjoy these last days of ignorance, ride your bike as if you were sentenced to death, coast like crazy, smell the fragrance of your brake pads right then...
In 10 (or let's say 15) days you won't look at your bike with this noticeable sparkling any more.

That's one more of us, one less of them

Learn to pop and hold a wheelie on your bike. Such is a slightly comparable balance.

You could also do bicep exercises, because I know that my left bicep gets a workout when I'm jumping steps.

Pistol squats may also be beneficial for building riding muscles.

And welcome to the forum and the UNIverse!

  1. First take a $100 out of your wallet and burn it.
  2. Smash a flat shovel against your shin as hard as you can, then bandage it up.
  3. Take another $50 out of your wallet and burn it.
  4. Use a rusty garden edger and bang your other shin really hard and patch it up.
  5. Walk up a steep Mountain trail, drink all your water, get a little lost.
  6. Take another $100 out of your wallet and burn it.
  7. Wipe your face along the driveway till you get some good road rash and take a picture...post it here.
  8. Jump off a curb and land directly on your butt. Then go inside and order some padding. This will burn another $60.
  9. Check out the UDC website and then burn another $75 out of your wallet.
  10. Do about 100 lunges around a track, then go drink beer.
  11. Take another $25 bucks out of wallet and burn it, while arguing religion on the internet with a 15 year old.
  12. Soon as one of shins heals up go out to the driveway and bash it up again!!


All of this should give you a good impression of what it is like to be a unicyclist!
