10 years later I have my wheel back (same one) and
commute a few miles every day. I haven't missed a day
of riding since I got it back in August. Has anyone
tried running with studded tires? I only took two
good falls this winter, but I was pushing it a bit..
Occasionally I'll go for long rides for a few hours,
but I've decided that it's time for me to start learning
some new tricks (besides riding w/ 4 pints in me). I just
joined up with Robert Michael's group in Boston and
we're trying various things. So, on with the questions,
what's out there for organized riding and events? I saw
references to "On One Wheel" in the archives but no mention
of where to get it. Is this a publication of the Unicycling
Association of America? Are there other resources out there?
Ok, now for the real questions... After riding for a few
hours I sometimes wear out skin in the groin area. I never
seem to toughen that skin up. Does anyone sell nice padded
or sobothane(sp?) padded seat covers for Schwinns? I guess
I could make my own if I really needed to, but...
My second question is along a similar vein. Guys,
what kind of underwear do you prefer for long periods
of riding: jockey's, boxers, or other? Boxers would
probably help in the abrasion problem, but they just
don't keep things in place...
Hmm, it must be getting early...
anyways, points to ponder.
