Hi,
I fancy learning to ride a unicycle!
Anyone got any tips on what to look for?
I was thinking of getting this one

So long as it supports my weight I can't imagine there is that much that can go wrong with a unicycle, except for falling off!
Click on the unicycle tag at the top for a couple of other thread about em
http://www.unicycle.uk.com/ is well recommended, though for a starter no doubt the one you've linked to would work to learn on, but saying "[i]I can't imagine there is that much that can go wrong with a unicycle[/i]" I'd say thats like comparing an Halfords Apollo MTB to a Santa Cruz and wondering why it falls apart after couple of months good use...
I fancy one, but the price (even 2nd hand on ebay) of a decent muni is off putting (when I have bills that need paying 1st).
Got one, wicked fun, not to hard to learn on.
Z1ppy is right about cheap vs expensive, and it will take alot of abuse to start with!
The easyest ones to learn on are the ones with smaller wheels, not sure what size mine is though.
I've got a [url= http://www.unicycle.uk.com/shop/shopdisplayproduct.asp?catalogid=70 ]Pashley Muni[/url] sitting in the shed:

Really must dig it out sometime and give it another go.
Should be fine for learning - it's a cheap way of finding out if Unicycling is for you. If it is, you will want to buy lots of unicycles...then go to http://www.unicycle.uk.com
I learnt on a Pashley Muni - 20" is just the right size for an adult learner.
