Yesterday, I verified something that’s crucial to unicycling (and just about everything else). No matter what, some things always come first. Whether it’s putting the kiddo to bed, folding laundry, or something else, practicing on the unicycle doesn’t need to be top priority as much as I’d like it to be.
So I spent about half an hour on the unicycle with consistent rides of about 10 feet with one long one of about 20. I didn’t get as many good unsupported rides as yesterday, but did notice that every time I fell, it was due to locking the cranks in the vertical position. I did a bunch of supported riding practicing half revolutions and continuous riding, but without a good practice spot, I was doing so in my garage a little at a time. No worries, as it seemed like a productive day.
Today I found a nice tennis court a few miles from the office and spent 20 minutes of my lunch break riding supported for the length of the court. I didn’t feel all that good today, but thought the practice was still beneficial. Just getting used to not locking out the cranks vertically and/or recovering when my balance goes is good.
