Unicycling is the best way to get around campus. Here's Why

1) It's fast

While not quite as fast as a bike, unicycling is significantly faster than walking. And, since the campus isn't that big, the unicycle is more than sufficient for getting around from the dorm to the lecture hall and back.

2) You won't get robbed!

Unicycles are small and can be stored in your dorm room at night, so you won't end up with a one-wheel bicycle in the morning... wait...

Besides, the demand for unicycles is less than for bikes, so presumably there's less "supply" in the form of theft too.

3) It looks cool

Although it's really not that much harder than biking, it looks very impressive. When I unicycle around, I regularly get told that it looks very cool, asked how long it took to learn (~2 weeks), and whether I work in the circus (sadly not).

4) You'll lead a more balanced life

This one's self-explanatory

But I don't know how!

If you're convinced to join me in unicycling around campus, I'll be happy to help you learn how. Feel free to message me on discord (nikosplugachev) or email me (nikos@plugachev.com).
