Sounds great! Depending on where you live, and if the unicycle isn’t enough, speaking Chinese while riding can help you become the weirdest person in the neighbourhood. 🙂 Speaking from personal experience here!

I have a Qu-ax 24″. Nowadays it’s at our family holiday house. To tell the truth I wasn’t riding for around 3 years now (OMG… time flies), because we was planning a baby, and didn’t wanted any… complications.;) But since the baby is here already, I am planning to get it out during my holiday in August. I have to get into shape again, to be the coolest father on the block!

Oh, okay, that sounds convenient enough that it might be worthwhile! Some apps really make it difficult (probably on purpose), so that copy/pasting works is great. When it comes to unicycling, I haven’t been doing it a lot recently. I have a a Qu-ax Cross 29″, but I don’t like it for city rides, so I keep it at my parents’ place, which means I almost never use it. I bought a Nimbus MUni 24″ a couple of years ago, which is much more suitable for the terrain around here (a weird combo of either flat city streets with lots of things going on on and somewhat rugged terrain in a nature reserve nearby). What are you riding?

It’s ideal for me since you can check for 14 days backwards, so copying to a spreadsheet is easy every few days.

I use, TCB and DuShu for reading, separate YouTube app and separate audio app for listening, Zoom and Italki (Skype) for speaking, Anki for words. That’s all I don’t have any offline Chinese learning methods, I’m a bit nerd!;)

PS.: Another unicycle rider here!;)

Sounds great! I’ve added it as an alternative to Toggle in the article itself, thanks for sharing!

I never considered that, pretty cool! But then if you want to merge that with non-digital data, I assume the process is so arduous that it’s not really feasible, right? You’d have to export it to some other program that allows for more flexibility? But still cool, and could be reasonable easy hooked up to some wider-scope system as well!

As for time trackers, I recently started using “ATracker” (which is available for iOS and Android) to track time across various aspects of my life. For language logging I use 5 different tasks, one for each of the skills and I really like the reports that I can get with the app.

If you use separate apps for Chinese reading, listening, etc… It will count the time spent automatically.
