I have been riding a unicycle for 6 or 7 years but haven't ridden anything larger than a 24-inch. I agree the competance of the unicyclist makes the difference.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01615886121902372570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13887692.post-53019996295914429062010-02-11T22:58:44.510-05:002010-02-11T22:58:44.510-05:00I am an avid unicyclist and the energy expenditure...I am an avid unicyclist and the energy expenditure of riding my 29-inch wheeled uni feels much less than running, but it's about the same speed (used to be a long distance runner). Once you've achieved a certain competency in unicycling, you don't really pay much attention to the balancing part. But, the learning curve was steep. Thanks for the explanations.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09561005785922674719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13887692.post-65662465478989741742010-02-08T19:23:22.548-05:002010-02-08T19:23:22.548-05:00I don't unicycle, but I suspect unicyclists ar...I don't unicycle, but I suspect unicyclists aren't too concerned about their energy expenditure while riding :-)Yokota Fritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04808661100114872654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13887692.post-24803972926319548752010-02-05T21:45:30.700-05:002010-02-05T21:45:30.700-05:00Don : Unicycling up a hill..

Coma for the second 12?<br /><br />Of course, moving up and down doesn't necessarily cost the energy of the vertical displacement, which is why an ideal pendulum will continue doing so perpetually. However, it seems in this instance it may be a decent approximation.<br /><br />I organize a hillclimb series and we regularly get unicyclists. For example, Steve Nash did a <a href="http://www.lowkeyhillclimbs.com/2009/week2/results.html" rel="nofollow">27:11 up Old La Honda Road</a>. He probably would have been around 20 minutes on a bicycle, I'd guess.djconnelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01484858820878605035noreply@blogger.com
