What we’re about
Silicon Valley Unicycle Group is all about bringing people of all ages together to learn, practice and ride unicycle in the South Bay and the greater San Francisco Bay Area. We offer activities such as clinics, bike path riding, mountain unicycling, etc. All activities are free of charge unless required for parking or venue access.
SVUG merchandise are available online. Prices listed are amounts charged by Cafepress. No markups are applied by SVUG. Check out our Cafepress store.
If you track your rides, join us on Strava.
We are also on [Unicyclist.com](http://www.unicyclist.com/forums/group.php?groupid=91).

Upcoming events (3)
See all- Viva CalleSJ - June Event (Location TBD)Needs location
RSVP closes at 6 pm the day before meetup.
Please do not join our group at the event without RSVP as we need your agreement to the disclaimers below.
Viva CalleSJ (pronounced Vee-Va Ka-Ye SJ) is a free public event hosted by City of San Jose that closes miles of streets. It's a fun family-friendly event, not a race. Non-unicycle guests are welcome to join us on bicycles, kick scooters, skates, skateboards, running shoes, etc.
This is a large public event. We will start together and try to stay together, but be prepared to naturally split into small groups or ride separately. We will regroup at the activity hubs.
Rain or shine.

Not suitable for beginner unicyclists due to the distance and the fact that we'll be riding alongside a lot of people (cyclists, runners, walkers, kids, etc.) There will be a few blocks of residential street riding. If you are brand new to unicycling but would like to join the festivities with us, come on a bicycle if you don't mind riding slower (unicycle speed).
