How to Ride a Unicycle (Unicycles and Monocycles)

I had this book in hardcover decades ago and am thrilled to get a kindle copy. Great info for total newbies, and for ones, like me, who rode before and are gearing up to ride again after time away (25 years between rides in my case). 🙂

Good book for beginners it helped and confirmed some of the things I was doing right knowledgable author . For me idling really seemed to help as an middle aged man I want to catch myself with the bike as I fall. Riding more than 5 ft at a time came later.

First off I have been putting 30+ hours in learning how to ride before I read this book so I felt most of the content I already know. It shows only how to learn with one or two persons by your side. The great content I got out of are:- the explanation of the mechanics of unicycles by imagining you balancing a wooden stick on a palm of your hand.- the control of the unicycle is in the pedaling more than the upper body movement or your arms- as you fall forward, pedaling forward to keep on- learning to ride backwards as you learn to ride forward. That way you do not handicap yourself in only one direction.I read this book on my kindle. It is a very fast read.

I just taught myself to unicycle and bought this book to get some tips and learn what I could have done better or different. This book's technique is based on having 2 helpers every time you practice. While this may be the "best" method, most people will not have 2 people that can invest the hours to month he suggests.I did pick up some good conceptual information an pointers that would have helped me while learning by leaning against a wall at 7-Eleven. In addition, he has some good tips on turning, learning to mount, and riding backwards.I still recommend the book, but don't expect to necessarily use its main method of learning.

shipped and works fair

Nice book, historical, minimal help for learning how to ride...

Got to give as a gift
