Now I don't know cause I've never met the guy, but I get the feeling
Andy's not such a bad unicyclist. So, just how easy are two-wheelers
to learn? (Yes I've *almost* made up my mind to get one, only I want
to hear anyway.)
Another thought: would it be possible to build (or buy) and "extendible"
multi-wheeler, that starts of as a normal uni, but can be extended by
bolting extra wheels on underneath? That way if I never got the hang
of the two-wheeler, I could extend it to a three-wheeling mean giraffe.
I guess the main problem with this would be the make robust joints so
that the extended frame was *nearly* as strong as a solid pole.
So, who builds these things? DM? Siegmon? Sem? Where's my best bet?
Does anyone have one? Has anyone ridden one? Does it really hot-up your
backwards pedalling as Andy suggested? Advice?
pab.
