10 things my unicycle has taught me

  1.  Riding a unicycle feels like flying.
  2. Okay, sometimes it feels more like a bumpy magic carpet ride than simply flying. Particularly when I almost fall.
  3. Turning a 360 in a 10 foot driveway is harder than it seems.
  4. Riding a unicycle on steep Ozark hills beats lunges and squats, anyday!
  5. Riding a unicycle down a steep half mile hill makes your legs very sore afterwards.
  6. Random cars and joggers will stop to watch your progress
  7. Normally reclusive neighbors will actually come outside and talk to each other. (Believe me, this is quite a miracle)
  8. Unicycles are about the coolest things ever.
  9. People are very impressed, even if you fall down after only a few feet.
  10. Pixar even has an animated short about a unicycle! (This is one thing my unicycle didn't teach me, but reminded me of). It was made in 1987 and although it looks weird, the technology was top-notch at the time.
