The spandex bike shorts can be had at a discount sports store, I got my pair
for $20 (DuPont). You can spend as much as $40 for a Nike or a Cannondale
brand, but I wasn't able to see the difference between the two.
Remember the spandex is to be worn sans dainty underthings - just to let
people know. Sometimes people Miss the Point and wear briefs underneat the
spandex, which looks pretty dumb and has to be pointed out.
Spandex shorts can be had padded or not padded, but I prefer the padded type.
My Miyata 24" unicycle has a pretty good padded seat, so I've no complaints
about seat padding. If unicycles have any standard fittings at all, you could
try to get a Miyata unicycle seat for your Schwinn and see how that goes.
For my unicycle with training wheels (ie, bicycle) I have a Tailbone padded
seat which is pure heaven on long trips (although it takes a little getting
used to at first). I would like to see such a product for a unicycle, but
I imagine that the gel padded seat would be pretty expensive, regarding the
surface area that a unicycle seat has over a bicycle seat.
Anyhow, has anyone mounted a bike computer on their Unicycle? My ultra top
speed on the unicycle was 14kph, but I haven't really tried to go all out
and see how fast I can go. There's a problem mounting the computer, so I'm
just holding on to it as I pedal. Any ideas how to mount it so it's easy to
see? Mounting on the seat didn't seem to work- how about a wristwatch type
of deal?
