I have a uni (20") but I haven't ridden it in quite some time. It's a lot of fun though! Do you venture very far on yours (i.e. do you have a big wheel?) or do you stick to more local routes and just have fun on it?

Well, I have a 20" uni and a 28" uni. The most I have ever ridden without falling off has been a couple of miles, I wish I could ride longer distances on it if it didn't start to get unbearably painful after a while haha. But yea, its a lot of fun, currently I am learning how to juggle and ride simultaneously, so I guess mostly I do it for fun. You should break your uni back out now that the weather is getting nicer!

I used to ride a lot. And I live about an hour from the site of the best Mountain Uni festival that ever was...

WELL I just got one.
It is hard to learn !!
But I am hoping it will build new synapses in my brain. Boy do I need them
Who says old dogs can't learn new tricks.
Any pointers?

Glad I found this discussion; I just started back riding after not getting on one for about 8 years. I just ordered a 36 inch one yesterday. Can't wait to get that one.

Back in the late 80's I learned how to juggle on a uni. From the time I started til the time I got to where I was comfortable enough to do torches it took nine months to learn. Now I am struggling with it; but it should come back pretty quick.

One thing I have noticed is that riding a uni doesn't affect my BG nearly as bad as riding my bike.
