Re: 2 questions from a newb

I'm a newb, I don't know anything about unicycles. I don't even have one
but I have two questions:

1) Which is worse - MUni on the road or a touring/road uni off road (by
off road I mean walking paths in the forest not rocky mountains)?
2) Is unicycle a considerable mean of transport? Can it replace
walking/bicycle?

Thank you.


1road tires on bike paths work fine.
2 Yes and no depending on size most unicycles replace walking unless
you have a 12 or 16 inch. Your not going to be able to go bike speeds
unless you get a big wheel or a GUni.
