Odd thought. Would learning to ride a unicycle help improve skills on a bike? Any experience of this out there?

Cheers.

I guess it might have some benefits relating to track standing and low-speed balance but I can't say I noticed any difference whatsoever whenI learnt a few years ago (to no great standard, but I could ride along).

Its good for balance and core stability but I don't think itll add much. As above better off learning some bike tricks like manualing or bunny hopping. Worth learning just for the fun and challenge

I'm probably best off getting a bmx I think.

Thanks all.

I think it's a local by-law that we're encouraged to throw bread at unicyclists.......
