Cindy from California writes:"Easy to understand, fun to read for all ages--don't learn to ride w/out it! We have 3 new riders in our club, one of which, a 10 year old boy, learned to ride in less than 2 hours having never tried it prior..."

Dan from Minnesota writes:"Well...after about four 45 minute sessions on Saturday, I learned to ride! I can now ride to the end of my block...I certainly didn't expect to catch on so quickly -- what a pleasant surprise! Thanks very much for the book, it really put me on the right track quickly!"

Fritz from Minnesota writes:"I received your booklet today and read it immediately. I just love it! It's well written and nicely illustrated with photos." Mark from Vermont writes: "Riding The Unicycle - A Crash Course was well written and informative -- I recommend it".

James from Memphis writes: "I am probably CRAZY, but I am 62 and I am looking into doing this for exercize."

Taylor from New Jersey writes:"This is an excellent and well written booklet. Reading the book made me aware of very helpful learning hints and tricks that I would never have thought of on my own. A few dollars well spent. Thanks!"

For the beginning unicyclist the correct size unicycle is paramount. It is so important that it could quite possibly make the difference between learning and not learning to ride the unicycle. Fortunately, figuring out the correct size is not rocket science and consists of nothing more than matching the length of the rider’s inseam (measured from the rider’s crotch to the floor when wearing sneakers) to the correct size unicycle. The chart below illustrates the relationship of inseam length to unicycle wheel size.

For those of you whose inseam is 30” and greater, even though the chart recommends you ride a 24” unicycle, I personally recommend that you learn on a 20” unicycle provided the seat post is long enough so that the unicycle fits you properly. As illustrated in the section on seat adjustment, the rider should have a slight bend in his/her knee when sitting on the unicycle with one pedal at its full extension. If you are over 6 feet tall then you may consider a 24” unicycle but also consider that it may take you longer to learn how to ride.

I recommend a 20” unicycle over the 24” and larger wheels for several reasons. First, the 20” unicycle situates the rider closer to the ground, which lessens the fear of falling. Second, a 20” unicycle is more maneuverable making it easier to turn and control. And third, a 20” unicycle is not as fast as the larger wheel unicycles, which also helps to lessen the fear of falling.

If your inseam is 30” or greater and you desire to learn to ride as quickly as possible, then it is in your best interest to learn on a 20” unicycle.

Once you learn to ride the unicycle you may never need to purchase another one. However, as I mentioned previously, it is not uncommon for a unicycling enthusiast to own several different size and shape unicycles for different types of riding. For example: I still own and ride the 20” unicycle that I learned to ride on over 32 years ago, but it is not the only unicycle I own. Over the years I’ve bought or built many other unicycles. If you “get into” unicycling, expect to purchase at least one other unicycle some time during your unicycling years.
