Desperate to be able to free-mount your unicycle and ride off immediately

There are 2 non-conventional methods that work but which I won't recommend to you.

1.) Carry a retractable light-weight aluminum trekking pole (or walking stick or umbrella or ski pole). Use it to assist you to mount your unicycle anywhere and ride off. You can also use it to regain your balance while riding.

2.) A normal free mount except that you place the toe of your dominant foot on the crank HUB. By doing so, the rear pedal (and the crank) become like a step on the stairs. You don't have to step on the 'air' anymore!

Wear a shin guard, high-cut boots, knee pad, gloves and helmet when learning to free-mount!

It is less painful to fall on grass than tarmac or cement.

Have fun :)
