For far too long, people have looked down upon the unicycle, ridiculing riders, saying they look silly perched up high above a single wheel. But it’s that time again for the one-wheel lovers to unite and take over the streets of New York on Labor Day weekend.
To kick things off on Thursday, September 3, from 10:30am to approximately 3pm, unicyclists will meet up in Battery Park and cruise up the West Side to Central Park. The next day (Sept. 4), riders head over the Brooklyn Bridge to Coney Island together from 2pm to roughly 6pm. The main event, though, is over the weekend: two days of five-hour (noon–5pm) Open Streets time on 34th Avenue in Jackson Heights, Queens. Here, there will be other activities including games, unicycle basketball, a dedicated learn-to ride area and more. The free, four-day event is presented by the Bindlestiff Family Cirkus—don't forget to sign the waiver on their website.
