After roughly 4 years off the wheel I recently purchased myself a btand new unicycle, the 2007 Torker LX. This is the first time I've owned a current (or future) model year vehicle. Though the LX turned out to be designed for a 6-foot tall person, but a litle hacksaw action and the seat no longer damages my balls.

I took it into work and was scolded by the HR manager, but really it's easier to hurt oneself on a bicycle. The lead designer is also an ex-one wheeler, with about a decade off, though I was surprised to find that ew both were able to get on and ride with little trouble. It's just like riding a bike, only less so.

Some of my coworkers asked me if I could do any tricks. I cannot. I guess I consider simply being able to ride a unicycle in and of itself a trick. I certianly am nowhere near the level of this kind of stuff.
