Trips

We are looking for more volunteers to lead a workshop and share your unicycling or non-unicycling skills.

If you like to organise something but do not know what to do, let us know. We have plenty of ideas but still looking for people to take them up. Like teaching crazy tricks and wheelbuilding, bringing people on muni practice or night ride around the city.
