- 1 grocery run, about 1 mile. Rode home with half of what I bought in a backpack, and held a bag carrying the rest in one hand.
- 1 school pickup, about 1.6 miles.
- 20 minutes of riding around my block, just for fun, 2-3 miles.
It really seems like the Solowheel makes for a lot quicker short errands, like the first two above, than driving my car. I don't have to park or wait in traffic!
Turning is getting a lot more automatic, and requires a lot less deliberate thought. Tight circles are still tough. I no longer need to wrap or pad my calves. They're still a bit tender, but I'm no longer clamping them onto the wheel, just lightly resting the red pads against my shins. I'm still getting occasional false starts, where I step on, and have to step back off to try starting again. Riding at very slow speeds is still difficult. But all of the above problems were worse yesterday than they are today.
I'll try to shoot some more video tomorrow.
