It doesn’t matter whether you ride a mountain bike on trails, a unicycle on the pavement, or a circus bike with 20 inch wheels. If you put the hours in, riding or entertaining, you’re going to need to take hydration seriously.
Granted, it’s a more considerable concern for the former riders than for the latter, but either way, here are some good tips whenever you go the proverbial distance.
Don’t Just Drink When You’re Thirsty
The old saying goes, “You should drink whenever you’re thirsty.” But by the time you are thirsty under normal to high effort exercise you will be behind in hydration.
(Or, for that matter, “You should eat when you’re hungry.”)
At least in the former case, this maxim should not be followed while you’re riding a bike or a unicycle, especially if you’re working hard.
When you’re really exerting yourself, it’s hard to “feel” the thirst, but you’ll still be losing water and minerals through sweat.
Good general practices are to take a sip or two every ten to fifteen minutes. This will help you keep hydrated and fight fatigue.
How much water you need will depend on how much you weigh, how hard you exert yourself, and of course, climatic conditions - but this is a good general rule.
Don’t Overdress
You should always bring clothes that are appropriate for the weather, but you should also dress appropriately.
Don’t add layers if you know it’s going to be hot and muggy. You will be uncomfortable (which is a morale sapper) and you will lose more water.
When you exert yourself, you will lose water regardless. But you don’t need to make it more taxing than it needs to be.
Refill Wherever You Can
This tip, specifically, is for long-distance riders. If you’re out for a multi-day trip, or are planning on covering more than, say, 40 miles, you probably cannot carry enough water for the whole trip.
Rather, you should use a hydration bladder or carry one to two quart or liter-sized bottles, like Nalgenes.
Fill them up at the start of the journey, and plan your route according to where you can refill them, since you just can’t carry enough water for the whole trip in one shot.
Replace Electrolytes After the Exertion Ends
While you should hydrate and replenish electrolytes during the entire trip, after you cool down and stop sweating, that’s when you should go hard to replace the nutrients you lost.
Sweat carries away electrolytes and nutrients that will not be replaced by pure water alone. You want to replace the electrolytes lost in sweat as well as the proteins needed to repair muscle and the carbs necessary to restore your body’s balance and furnish you with energy.
High-carb energy drinks and sports drinks like Powerade and Gatorade are good for these purposes, but there are many others. Make sure you carry a few with you, as your body can absorb nutrients more easily from liquids than from solid food. You can also carry powdered mixes which are very lightweight, and use them as needed.

The people over at Unicycle.com will be quick to tell you just what a great workout riding a unicycle is, how it can make you a better bike rider, or even make you stronger or improve your balance and coordination.
That much is no secret, and becoming proficient in the saddle of a unicycle is a life-long pursuit.All the same, it is not the only wheeled machine that requires a good deal of skill to master.
Whether you’re a skilled unicyclist looking for a new ride to challenge your skills or have simply always entertained the thought of tackling a circus bike with resolve, it might be time for you to investigate the Hoppley Circus Bike (20 inch model) that’s also available at unicycle.com.Unlike a regular bicycle, the Hoppley Circus Bike has no chain drive.
However, in this case, since bikes have two wheels, the cranksets are attached directly to the hub of the rear wheel.As with a unicycle, this gives you great control over the drive and balance of the rear wheel; it takes a good deal of strength and finely tuned balance, but you can start or stop the rear wheel very effectively with the directly attached crankets; this makes hopping or balancing practical.The Hoppley Circus Bike (20 inch) has a front wheel that rotates entirely independently of the rear wheel and features two stunt pegs at the front, as well as 360-degree handlebar rotation.
These features make it possible to accomplish a variety of traditional circus stunts and even BMX style tricks - at least with the right practice.
The unique design of this circus bike also makes it possible to accommodate a second rider - which makes stunt riding and performing all the more impressive.If it’s the quality of speed you're after, this circus bike probably isn’t for you; but all the same, if you’re looking to impress a crowd or build confidence in the saddle, there are few bikes that can offer you the same, even for experienced cyclists.
