Amy and the kids surprised me with a unicycling anniversary cake! I had forgotten!
Before cake we had a unicycle jam session in the driveway. Syd's been favoring my 20" trials. Kyle's been riding more and is more stable. He free-mounts sometimes too. Unfortunately he's so tall he wants my seat post raised too high for me, so it makes sharing difficult. Perhaps he needs a uni of his own! He does ride some of the cheaper 20" unicycles I have, but the seats aren't nice.
Kessa's tiny unicycle that I got her for Christmas 2013 is actually too small. It's too bad the seat height isn't adjustable. It was a cute uni and very well built, but not at all versatile. It's good if you can actually get a 3 year old to ride it, but that's not realistic. I didn't expect her to, but I thought it would still be rideable at age 5. A few weeks ago at the Empire State Muni Fest, Robi let us borrow his small uni, which is actually a 12" wheel like Kessa's. I swapped the cranks with Kessa's, which were slightly shorter, and shortened a seat post from Syd's first 16" uni. This made it an acceptable size for Kessa. I too can ride it! lol I think I had more fun on it than Kessa so far.
