Unicycling- Introduction and the basics

Step 3: Ride

First get the unicycle pedals in an 11 O"clock and 5 O"clock position. Place the unicycle between your legs. Put your hand on a fence, or rail for support. Place your foot on the 5 O"clock pedal, and slowly step up onto the unicycle. Congratulations! You"ve just mounted the unicycle! Now with your hand still on the wall pedal forward. Do this until you feel comfortable with riding along the wall. Try taking your hands off the wall, and putting them back. Now Just practice, practice, practice and you will learn how to ride.

When you're first starting out, it can be helpful to wear weighed wrist bands. These will make your hand movements have more effect. Once you get a little good at riding, and you can leave the wall, you might also try a balance bar, like tight rope walkers uses. Anything that will increase your inirtia will increase your balance.
