Adjusting
The wide part of the saddle goes at the back. Double check: the pedal and crank marked "L" should be on your left, "R" on your right.
When you're seated on the unicycle, with the heel of one foot on a pedal in its lowest position, your leg should be almost straight. Getting the right height is important. If not your riding posture will make learning much more difficult. If the seat does not go high enough you'll need a bigger unicycle or a longer seat post.
A quick rule of thumb is to stick your thumb in your belly button. The top of the saddle should be 2-3 centimetres below.
Unicycling is generally not dangerous, but expect to fall every now and again, especially while learning. The vast majority of unicycle falls result in the rider landing standing uninjured on their feet. We recommend wearing a helmet and wrist guards, sneakers and trousers.
