Alright, I know this is late. The event happened during the first week of August and featured a turnout of hundreds. All but some tens of us are Korean.
It’s not too late to join in and head to Seoul end Jul for the comp! Here are the details:
Fri 30 July
We (or at least I) will have a more regular presence at the Tampines Bike Park from January (that’s now). We (I) will be holding unicycle clinics for complete beginners the last Saturday of each month.
Want more details? We (I) have a page here that you can visit for any additional info!
A group of us rode the trails at the Tampines Bike Park on Safe Cycling Day. The trails, like mentioned are VERY beginner-friendly because they’re mostly flat.
Here’s Hongwei being lazy on the flattest stretch of land ever. Because we have no tolerance for laziness, we fed him to the alligators that lurk by the swamps along the trail and carried on on our merry ways.
Here’s me taking a photo of my face while riding. And Kelvin’s being on his KH29 complete with handlebar.
Thanks OCBC for the jerseys. Me likey.
On the 3rd September to 5th September, New York City hosted its first ever annual New York City Unicycle Festival. or the NYC Uni Festival.
Activities were spread over three days; on the first day, a ride was organized to start from the Brooklyn Bridge and to end in Coney Island. Some 55 unicyclists took part and about 48 riders completed the ride.
The bulk of the festival was held at Governor’s Island, where about 300 or so unicyclists and non-unicyclists alike took part. Free workshops, unicycle-hockey and unicycle-basketball matches were held, and some flatland and unicycle-basketball demonstrations took place. There was even a trials course in the corner for those who felt that unicycling is nothing without causing your insurance premiums to suddenly triple.
Finally, on the third day, unicyclists gathered at Grant’s Tomb, the usual meeting and practice place of the New York Unicyclists (NYUC) where all sorts of weird unicycles were available for tryouts. Double wheel, triple wheel, unicycles that cycled sideways when one pedaled forward, free-wheeling unicycles and giraffes and more were free for all who had the guts to try them out.
The Paya Lebar Runway Cycling event took place over the weekend. I kind of remember some of these people wearing the same outfit previous years…
We’re meeting 740am at Eunos MRT and are doing the 15km route. Most of us will be riding 20 – 24″ unis so don’t worry about being slow.
See you then!
