So, yeah, tonight I bought this.
Yes, I just bought a new, high-end unicycle a week or two ago, but after dislocating my kneecap running yesterday (and listen, kids, you don’t know pain until you dislocate your kneecap while running, and then pop it back into place on the next stride – the crack was so loud, it startled the girl on the treadmill adjacent to me), I won’t me uni’ing for a little bit. So, sit on my huge fat ass, or find another activity. And a thousand of my dollars later, here we are.
It’s a 2015 Kona Mahuna, and so far, I love it. Because of the aforementioned knee, I didn’t ride much tonight – just enough to get the feel of it. Bikes sure have changed since my last one. Active suspension, 27 speeds, hydraulic brakes & shifters, lightweight aluminum frame – sheesh. Sure, I could have gone the $200 route at the sporting goods store, but homie don’t roll that way. And the guys at the bike shop are super knowledgeable, and that has value to me. Didn’t try to up-sell me (because, you know, you can spend ten large on a bike, toot-sweet), built it and set it up to match my size. A good experience.
So, let’s ride!
