A few simple things will help you get on easily:
- Stand with both feet flat on the ground, legs apart.
- Put the seat between your legs.
- Walk forward so that one pedal is in the 4:00 position.
- Step onto this pedal.
This is different from a bicycle. If you stand on the front pedal, the unicycle will roll away as you attempt to get on it. - Hold on to the handrail or fence.
- Step onto the lowest pedal.
As you step up the wheel will rotate 1/4-turn backwards. You should now be on the seat with the wheel underneath you. - Pedal backwards 1/4 turn to get your feet horizontal.
This gets you out of the “dead spot” when your cranks are vertical.
