Loading ...New York City Unicycle Festival ,September 3rd thru 5th, 2010 with the Main Event: September 4 on Governors Island
The first ever New York City Unicycle Festival will be held September 3 to September 5, 2010. Bindlestiff Family Variety Arts, Inc. is producing this three-day event featuring a grand gathering on Governors Island on September 4. The festival will feature unicycle races, games, trials demonstrations, public shows, a long-distance ride, and the largest group of one-wheeled enthusiasts ever to gather in the five boroughs. 2010 will be the very first year of the festival that is intended to become an annual tradition for the Big Apple.
New York City is the home of the New York Unicycle Club which hosts biweekly meetings at Grant’s Tomb, the King Charles Troupe ,the most famous unicycle troupe in the world, and most recently, the NYC Unicycle Bridge Tour. You no longer have to be a clown, the growing popularity of this very quirky pastime, combined with the city’s initiatives to encourage cycling, make this a timely opportunity for a celebration of the unicycle.
Although you may witness one wheelers all over town, including a mass ride on Friday, September 3, the main event will take place on Governors Island on September 4. From noon to 5 pm people can enjoy rolling on one wheel in an automobile-free area, attempt unicycling for the first time, participate in games of unicycle basketball and hockey, and witness some of the most daring feats imagined by legends in the mono cycle world.
