a new hobby is brewing

So I got the unicycle I ordered today. Yay! I had to put it together immediately and start practicing even though I should be getting ready for work (typical - I've been reading about chronic lateness problems so I know I"m text-book). I can ride for a few seconds un-assisted, but that's it. When I get home I hope to practice more.

This means more procrastination! Less book work! Awesome!

Be careful. I lost my front tooth at 15-years-old because I thought it would be cool to learn to ride a unicycle. Fell flat on my face. Because it happened so fast, my hands didn't catch my fall. No telling what would have happened had I fallen backwards and smashed my skull instead of my front tooth. My advice: Practice on grass.

Hurrah Meghan!

Wrist, elbow, knee pads and mouthguards are good. :)

Linda, how is your practicing going? I need to get a higher seat pole! The short pole is putting way too much pressure on my knees... although maybe that's a good thing since I"m supposed to build up my knee muscles for physical therapy.

I can ride for maybe two rotations without having to grab onto something--kind of pathetic.

Unicycles rule! (and are very, very difficult... but a very good work-out)
