There's something I don't understand that maybe other unicycle riders can explain to me. I can ride a unicycle and I can even juggle while riding one, but I cannot go more than 200 feet or so before my thighs completely burn out and I fall over. How do people use these things as actual forms of transportation?

Its been a long time since I unicycled but in grade school we rode in parades. There were some that you could coast with but my cheapo one required the pedals moving at all times.

How does coasting on a unicycle work? Isn't it pedalling the main thing that helps you with balance? Or is it something like manualling a normal bike (i.e. a wheelie without pedalling)?
