Putting a Spin on Things

October 19th, 2009 § 0

Yes, bad pun.

I did my first unassisted pirouettes today. My tire’s set to 50psi and I’ve my seatpost slightly lower than most people would prefer. The balance is a little weird. I prefer getting into tight circles within a few revolutions of cycling off and I’m surprised at how low my speed was when I went into a spin – I’d always thought that you need to be cycling really fast before it works. Leaning in is a little intimidating though.

Another thing I did realise is that I’m too tall for my unicycle – at my maximum reach, my seat post needs to be extended beyond its length.Hm. Maybe i will have to get a longneck frame the next time after all. Guess I grew up.
