You hold the strange contraption between your legs, the seat resting lightly on your crotch. With one foot on the lead pedal, leaning forward, you press down and vault up to the seat, making contact with the other pedal. Then you move forward, keeping the unicycle fork as straight as possible. One pedal after another, you glide down the road, as onlookers gawk in wonder.

There are many types of unicycles. From sturdy off-road models that are used in mountain, or extreme unicycling. There are also unicycles with independent suspensions and handlebars that can be ridden like a regular bike. If you're the less adventuresome type, there are standard, editions of the cycles for those who don't intend on riding any mountains higher than the one in their backyard.

All in all, unicycling is a great hobby; one that provides endless hours of enjoyment.
