History Of The Unicycle
While the unicycle has been around for more than 100 years, it has been improperly portrayed as a circus or street performance act, thus, leaving the general population to believe that it is impossible and unsafe for the average person to do. That perception is absolutely inacurate. In fact, Just One Wheel inc. has not only trained children at the age of 2 1/2 to ride but, we have also trained children with special needs including Autism as well as ADHD. All this without a serious injury. If you can walk, you can learn to ride.
In Japan where unicycling is a mandatory part of every elementary and middle school childs PE curriculum, there are now more than a million and a half unicyclists. Japans Chancelor understood the value of unicycling (building better balance) as an intrical part of life and decided it would be an injustice to not offer it to the population. Just one success story of many. A huge benefit of unicycling is the size. Not only are they more compact to fit in may more places than a bicycle would, they don’t require all the extra components such as chaines, gears, breaks handle bars and more. Much less expensive to maintain and obtain.
