Cubing and unicycling

[Yeti]

I am in unicycling, and I'm more or less a newbie in cubing. It turned out that quite a lot unicyclists are cubers as well - see respective thread in unicycling forum (sorry, it's in German). I wonder, how many cubers are riding a unicycle as well. Is there any relation between these activities?

Unicycling.. Wow...

Well, I do know quite a few jugglers who cube and unicyclists are of course rather overrepresented among jugglers.

I have been trying to unicycle lately, and can only get about 10 ft, but I will get it with practice. I also juggle to some extent.

Unicycling looks very cool, but I've never really had the urge. One of my friend's brother does it, and is pretty good too.

Great.
Your sig says, you are sub20. Have you ever tried it on your unicycle? What is your time there? There's just an ongoing discussion in another group, where some sub20 cubers who never were riding a unicycle claim to be able to achieve sub30 on the unicycle quite fast. What is your experience? Unfortunately I am a too bad cuber to be representative here. So if you are a good unicyclist, maybe you could take your solving time on a unicycle just to have a reference.

I have a unicycle, and have tried cubing while riding. Nothing that special though My unicycle times were about 30 seconds and I was averaging sub 20 back then. Now it's almost winter so I don't really get a chance to do it.

Sub-30 would be a lucky solve for me, I'd say an average (an average of 12 would be crazy.... and it's an idea....) 35 seconds.

I unicycled when I was regular at Nottingham Juggling Club in the early 90s. The relationship between these activities, in my opinion, is the pure unadulterated joy of learning and doing new and interesting things.
