The whole thing looks symmetrical, including the seat, and no-one ever
mentioned it to me, so it never occurred to me that there was a
forward direction. I suspected at first that I was having my leg
pulled.
Sure enough, the pedals are labelled L and R on the inside, which
indicates the direction of the thread. Prolonged riding in the wrong
direction apparently causes the pedal to become loose (as they have,
on my unicycle.)
While I still can't understand why they can't make pedals that can
spin either way, I would appreciate it if the FAQ could warn other
innocents, like myself, of the existence of the right way and the
wrong way to ride.
Thanks,
Julian

Newbie Unicylists! Up against the wall when the first revolution comes!
Hmmm.... I think that pun needs a little work still.
