#Unicycle

I don’t have time right now to mess around with wanderer, but i feel like we should have a federated ride sharing instance for unicycling. I currently have the domain unicycling.rocks kicking around

@celesteh This is actually a great question.

In short, more like riding a safety bike.

Having said that, this can be a bad thing. Since they are basically "fixies" and this is easy to forgot if you normally ride bikes with a freewheel hub. Thus you can trick yourself into trying to coast if you stop paying attention, which would lock the wheel and possibly cause you to faceplant off the front.

had fun doing #CriticalMass by #unicycle again last night. it was a *little* faster this time, but still managed to keep up. at least until near the end where i fumbled my flashlight and then had an unplanned dismount. luckily i was able to run it out and the couple cyclists near me were able to avoid the flying uni.

Thankfully these are explicitly "all wheels" rides, so folks are a bit used to non bikes in the group and them occasionally becoming hazards 😅. There are skaters and skateboarders, and the ride leader was on a tall bike!
