I’ve mastered the ability to take any idea or thought and transform it into anxiety. Jitters McGee

I’ve wanted to do this but I’m afraid at my age I’ll be seriously injured trying.

I learned to ride when I was 17. It took me like 2 months to learn to ride.

I just turned 42 today. If I didn't already know how to mount and ride a unicycle already, I'd probably be like F that as well.

If you fall on an unicycle you land on your feet

I fear you may overestimate my physical prowess.

Usually yes, but it partly depends on how big the tire is and how tall the unicycle is..

I learned on a 24 inch tire with 6 inch pedal cranks, not stupid tall. I wasn't going for the circus, I just wanted to learn to ride.

My experience says no to this. Maybe usually, but I fell on my ass a few too many times and gave up trying to learn the rest.
