Dangit, I'm jealous now, I want a unicycle!
Do you know how to mount and ride it? I do, took me a good solid 2 months to learn though.
Didn't had a clue but I will probably learn it. It doesn't feel that difficult as I expected. So in few weeks I will be probably riding but mounting is difficult so I will leave it for later.
Here's a couple of tutorial videos that should help...

Good luck!
Don't let your dreams be dreams.

I loaned out my 20" and never got it back, so I picked up a 29", which I absolutely love. I still miss my 20" though, so I might just pick one up the next time my kid wants to learn to ride. :)
Who TF steals a unicycle? Damn I hate to hear that.
I learned on a 24", pretty sure that would be my preferred size if I ever get another one. Only reason I don't have my old one is because it was manufactured in 1974, and I had absolutely no clue where to get replacement parts for it when the pedal crank mounts started gradually coming loose. The wedge bolt things that held it together were stripped out.
Eh, I got it for $50 and it worked to get me to learn, so I'm not too hung up on it. And I leant it to a coworker who was contracting with our org, and after the job ended, he didn't reach out to return it (I didn't either). It was kinda crappy, so whatever.
That said, I'm casually in the market again. I'll get a good one this time too.
Oh fuck those old wedge bolts, lol
