Happy 4th! I was just reading an old post about triathalons on IJA, and reading about cycling and juggling. I would just juggle two in one hand while biking if I were to do a tri. That would be so much more feasible and safe, and its still considered juggling. I think juggling three on a unicycle would be easier to stop with, than with a bike. Imagine the wrecks you could have when those handle bars lose balance. I’ll give both a try soon and get back to you, and I’ll also try swuggling to see how it works.

I guess I didn’t really consider two-in-one-hand juggling. That is an interesting idea. Somehow, I figured you’d have to do 3 the entire time but there’s no real reason for that.

Juggling three on a unicycle would be a bit easier but much, much slower and more tiring. I couldn’t imagine being able to qualify for the biking leg if you had to ride the unicycle rather than a bike.

Yeah, if I ever do a triathalon while juggling each sport, then I will do the cycling with two in one hand. It seems a bit silly and dangerous to try three, but I am sure it can be done, but I won’t be done by me :)

Yeah, a unicycle won’t cut it for long distance as easy as a bike.

I am looking forward to doing a tri soon.
