Unicycle it up!



More and more I keep hearing that kids of all ages are learning how to ride unicycles in gym class. From 4th graders to high school aged kids it seems to be a new trend occurring in physical education. Not only are schools offering unicycle units in gym but also full classes. Some schools are even lucky enough to have their own unicycle clubs. The school district I graduated from has a unicycle club that meets every Wednesday before school starts. Ever since, there has been a huge jump in the number of unicycles popping up around town. The kids parents have even starting to get involved with the program and ride their unicycles together to school. When normally, they may have just ridden in a car to school and dropped their child off. This new program that requires a little skill and lots of fun will keep kids and parents happy and fit in the long run.
