Where to learn to ride unicycle?

Another most common question being asked is: Where is the place to go to learn unicycling?

I found the one and only unicycle group in Singapore from meetup.com website:
http://www.meetup.com/Singapore-Unicycle-Hockey-Unicycle-Meetup/

Mr Kee Xu Yuan is the person-in-charge there. He is quite a nice chap, so hurry down and join the meetup.com unicycle group for beginners!

Another good place to ask beginners' questions is at their forum

They practice at
  • Wednesday night. Kallang CC. Boon Keng MRT nearby (limited spare unicycles, check before you go down).
If you drive or live near Bedok, go meet up with the group. They have many spare unicycles for you to try. In another words you don't have to buy a unicycle. Another plus point is that you don't have to bring/carry your own unicycle there if u own one.

If the place is too inconvenient for you or you are a shy person or you are a highly confident self-learner, then your next best choice is to buy a used beginner's unicycle and practice on your own until you are successful.

Consider buying a USED one coz the dropout rate (give-up learning halfway) is rather HIGH.

=====================================================
There is a unicycling club at a ITE college https://www.facebook.com/groups/566663056712535/

There is a club at the Japanese school and there used to be one at the Singapore Polytechnic.

~~~Spend more time riding your unicycle, instead of reading about riding a unicycle~~~


in case ... just in case ...  that you hurt your bum while trying to ride a unicycle ... do consider another sports which is closely similar, yet hardly cause any harm to your bum. check out the following video:
