#unicycle day 16: I put air in the tire and HOLY CRAP it's a totally different animal now. Its so responsive and easy to make corrections, but requires about 3x the tension in my body to react.

Anyways: today's goal was a figure eight, and the tight turn at the end was a bonus!

Went for a virtual 8km ride in #France last night on #mywhoosh . Apparently they have hills. 🤣 Wow. Made Dubai look like a downhill.

I think I need a heart rate monitor for safety. At my age, it’s not supposed to go over 160-ish iirc. I was panting, head down, pumping the legs to finish, and staggered off the bike after.

May need to figure out a more sensible training regime, since I’m basically a couch potato who hasn’t cycled for at least 12 years (and that was my mountain #unicycle )

#unicycle day 15. I'm getting pretty good at going in a straight line, today's practice was curving. Witnessed here (offscreen 😅) is my first successful U-turn!

first muni ride back after 2 weeks of vacation with no unicycles was a hard one, but very fun and I stumbled upon some neat ruins along the trail

I've updated my #unicycle practice to twice a week to continue building muscles. Had an improvement today, I turned a corner without touching a wall!

Unfortunately, my old 26" Nimbus muni is finally starting to show its age.

The hydraulic rim brakes are getting tired (and seem to confuse every local bike shop), 26×3" tires are getting harder to find, and I just snapped a spoke. Everything is repairable, but it felt like the right time to retire it to winter/backup duty and treat myself to an upgrade.

The unfortunate part? There really aren't many good options for Canadians anymore. Kris Holm still makes incredible unicycles (I absolutely love my KH36), but there isn't a Canadian dealer anymore, and U.S. shops generally won't ship them across the border.

(insert plea for someone to starting selling good unicycles in Canada again!)

So... if I'm already paying to ship a unicycle across an ocean, why not go all in and order a customized one from Italy!?

I ended up ordering a custom-anodized 27.5" from Mad4One (https://www.mad4one.com), and it finally arrived.

The fit and finish are fantastic, and having hydraulic disc brakes on a muni is a huge step up from the old rim brakes. It may just be the honeymoon phase talking, but the 27.5" also seems to roll over roots and rough sections a little more effortlessly than my old 26".

I've had it out a few times on the local trails and it's awesome. Looking forward to actually making out it to the mountains soon!

#unicycle day 11. I can mount 19 times out of 20, and go in a straight line basically until I run out of road.

First attempts at intentional turning have been a moderate success, as shown by the three quarters of a U-turn here.
