Looking at unicycles on eBay. Is there anything in particular I should be paying attention to (e.g. wheel size)?

Smaller wheels are easier to learn on but larger wheels easier to ride around on once you have learn't. I have 20 inch wheel one. good for a beginner but once you have got to grips with it you end up spinning along going nowhere. a brake is good for offroading I believe - but I didn't get that good before I broke it.

Try one of these: Unicycle.uk.com Starter pack
This will be great for starting, then you can move up to a larger wheel, or stronger 20" if you like doing tricks.
It is quite addictive, I teach Kids at my Daughter's school to unicycle, and we always start them on 20" wheels.

a 20" is best for learning on. A cheapy will do for starters. If you don't get into it then you haven't lost much. If you do get into then you'll realise you need half a dozen different models.

The beginners set is great but if you get into it it's wasted money - unless you can pass it on to a friend. If you want something to learn on that you can keep for a while the Pashley 20" Muni(or Phoenix) is good. If you aren't sure, just give Roger at Unicycle.com a call - he's a really helpful guy. But as nickjb says, soon you'll be looking for space to store your collection. I'm after a Nimbus 36" next...
