International unicycle day?

Ereksonj · 2011-05-04, 09:55 AM

Ok, so apparently there is an international Star Wars day, and I think June 21st is skate day. Unicyclists should have a day. Do we have one yet? If not, we should establish one. That would be cool to make an official holiday out of it.

1st of Jan or 10th of October?

Better. We have International Harper Day. It's all over RSA radio.

maestro8 · 2011-05-04, 09:16 PM

Even better. Let's have an "International post unicycle threads in the unicycling forum" day.

It'd be nice to have a break from all the crap pouring into JC these days...

I'll wait for Hallmark to pick the date for this one.

At least the cards may be interesting.

November 11?
11/11/11

Ereksonj · 2011-06-22, 05:56 PM

kind of cold, isn't it? I was thinking at either spring of fall equanox. That way, the weather is good for almost the whole planet to ride. Either March 20/21, or September 22/23? Or, we could just go with some day in summer.

A while back, a bunch of us unicyclists started it on July 20th for each year. It caught on but then died off.

We should get it restarted. 20 July. You'll know when it becomes official because google will make a suitable logo on that day

Ereksonj · 2011-06-23, 12:34 AM

^^ ha ha, that would be cool to eventually see it on google. I wonder if there's a way to submit it? That would be a great way to help spread word. July 20th sounds great! I'll make sure to ride then.

Dane M · 2011-06-23, 05:41 AM

July 20th I will be celebrating it then! That's the day after my birthday

why 10th of October? (it happens to be my birthday

so I agree!)

krjames · 2011-06-23, 02:20 PM

From reading posts for a few years I thought it was Christmas day

Milosboy · 2011-06-23, 03:24 PM

July 20th seems like a good day. July typically has internationally suitable unicycling weather, so everyone can go out and ride. Might get a bit hot, but it's better than it being cold in January.
