  Unicycle

Level One: On the Wall

  • You do not get on a unicycle like it's a bike.
  • The rider leans with back against wall and bike in front in position to mount.
  • Pedals should be halfway up (and down).
  • Step on the pedal closest to the wall and slowly push up.
  • The seat will rise and move towards the wall, as the rider move hands wide against the wall to balance.
  • While against the wall, the rider should roll back and forth and get used to balancing themselves.
  • To dismount, practice taking a big step and catching the seat of the unicycle.
  • Before learning to ride, you must be able to mount and dismount.

    Level Two: Move Away from the Wall

  • Sit deep on the seat.
  • Keep feet on both pedals at all times.
  • Pedal forward one revolution, then stop with feet still on pedals.
  • Continue to add one revolution of the pedals, then stop and balance.

    Level Two with Partners: Move Away from the Wall

  • One person is on each side of the rider to help with balance.
  • As the rider starts to feel the balance, speeding up will help.
  • The rider's goal is to develop a smooth pedaling motion without stopping

    Level Three: Push Yourself

  • Get on the seat - balance
  • Push off the wall and go as long as you can.
  • If you start to wobble, pick up the speed of pedaling.
