 Very nice cycle February 24, 2010
J. Brooks
This unicycle works great. I got one for my 9 year old daughter, who has a 25" inseam/instep whatever it is called (measurement from the floor to crotch, using regular sneakers. As other posts say, this could be used down to 24" inseam. I just had to hacksaw off a few inches of the bottom of the seat post, so that it would go down far enough and not hit the tire. This takes 20 seconds. This cycle is good quality, far better than she was using at school. It has a really nice hand hold on the front of the seat. She is very happy with it.

I bought a unicycle to ride to work in the Prague city center, as I thought it would be easier to move amongst people than a bicycle. The unicycle came unassembled without any instructions so it took me about 6 months to figure out how to put it together. It didn't come with a unicycle chain or any reflectors, horn or mud flaps, so you're just getting a basic unicycle.
The unicycle frame is steel. It's okay for a cheap unicycle. Unfortunately I had no idea how to ride it and the very first times I tried, I crashed badly, once into a few light posts. So you may want to try to practice on soft grass or pig mud before you head out into car traffic.
After a few months of riding it, I found out that it is basically not feasible to ride to work because you spend more energy just to go a short distance. After a few more months and crashes, it was run over by a bus.
So, if you're in the circus it's an okay at home training unicycle. If you're a midget be warned, this is a large size so you're feet won't reach.

I'm extremely pleased with this purchase. The primary reason I decided to learn to ride a unicycle is to help combat one of the preventable effects of aging, now that I'm in my early fifties. I've noticed that some older people seem to start losing their sense of balance, and I can't think of any better exercise to prevent or even reverse that loss than unicycle riding.

The product assembled quite easily due to the simplicity of a unicycle, and all necessary parts were included and correct. Unfortunately, the amount of torque needed to tighten the seat clamp in order to keep the seat from twisting off-center would seem to hinder quick readjustment to accommodate different-height riders, but for me that is just a good excuse not to have to share my unicycle ;-)

I've been learning to ride in my apartment on light tan carpet, and there are no signs of any black marks from the tires, although once I take it on the street it will have to be an "outdoor only" cycle. I hadn't even counted on being able to ride it indoors, but once I put it together, indoor use seemed quite doable, especially with the smaller size and greater maneuverability of a 20" wheel. Riding down a hallway may even be the perfect place for early training. It worked well for me, and I've even managed to keep from putting any marks on the wall.

It's been a long time since I've been this happy with a purchase. This Avenir unicycle seems like the perfect opportunity to discover the benefits and satisfaction of learning to ride a unicycle, and for a very reasonable price. Be sure to let me know if there are any unicycle gangs for seniors that I can join ;-)
