Hello, me and my brother are unicyclists in Sheffield, we have 20" nimbus and are interested in all aspects of unicycling - particularly trials and perhaps in the future, muni.

 

If anyone knows about anything happening in sheffield, please email me at [email protected]

 

Id love to meet up informally with a bunch of unicyclists and go somewhere as a group, that'd be incredible.

 

maybe we could even start a unicycle hockey team, that'd be incredible.

 

thanks, Mike.

I can. I'm going unicycling in Endcliff Parc daily and love playing unicycling Hockey (I learned it with my German unicycle group) But I don't think they've got that here, do they?

Not knowing a single thing about them (but would like to learn a bit more) are they all single speed fixies or do you have gears and locking freewheels and other stuff

The majority are sungle speed fixies, with the 'gear' being determined by the wheel size and crank length i.e. bigger wheel=faster and better for distance and short cranks also giving higher speed (but less control).

 

I ride a '29-er' which is the road bike size wheel (700c) with a big fat tyre.

 

There are geared unicycles, mainly used by distance unicyclists- personally I prefer the simplicity of the ungeared unicycle: here's a link to the geared hub-

It's a very interesting hobby, riding a bicycle is tough enough let alone a unicycle.

 

Good luck with that mate.
