DC Uni 2009
 

Welcome to the official thread for *_DC_Uni_* (unicyclists of Washington
D.C.). I'm excited to say that, as of January 2009, our club has 26
members and our member jurisdiction extends from Richmond to Maryland.
Most of our members are from Northern VA and the University of Maryland.
Ages range from 11 on up to 50+. We certainly have been a growing
community of unicyclists in the DC area since 2007. Because DC is the
main city of our location and because James (siafirede) thought of the
name before I did, our group is called "DC UNI". If you live in our
area and you would love to join our group, please send me a message.
Currently, we're working on t-shirts.

Feel free to use this thread to converse with other unicyclists in DC
Uni.

VOTING FOR SHIRT MOTTO

The shirt color and logo (which will represent DC Uni) has been agreed
on:

Now for the motto: I gave everyone a few months to think about motto
suggestions. Below are the mottos to choose from. Here's how voting
will work: each member will choose *ONLY TWO *mottos that he/she likes.
You can reply your choice via email or on this forum but you can only
vote _ONCE_ so make it count! At the end of January, I will talley up
all the votes and the motto that has the highest score will become our
shirt/club motto.

Choose TWO of your favorites:

#1
"Never 2 Tired"

#2
"there is no other wheel"

#3
"it's more fun on just one"

#4
"Why ride two when one will do?"

#5
"half the bike, twice the talent"

#6
"It's not an act, it's a sport! -Kris Holm"

#7 (already featured on an existing MUNI t-shirt)
"No gears
No brakes
No handlebars
No problem"

#8
"The other wheel is on my other unicycle"

#9
"Because there has to be a harder way to do this"

#10 (kidding, but thought it was funny)
"Help prevent overpopulation. Ride a unicycle"

#11
"Eat. Sleep. Unicycle."

#12
"Idle hands are why God created juggling"

#13 (corny)
"We're wheelie cool!"

#14
"It doesn't have another wheel"

#15
"Single track
Single wheel"


If you are interested in getting a DC UNI shirt, please help me out by
letting me know your size (S/M/L/XL) and quantity you want so I can
calculate how many to order. Once everyone responds I can tell everyone
how much their individual shirt will cost BEFORE we order. It appears
that the more shirts that are ordered, the cheaper the individual cost
is. I will be ordering some extras for future members so it appears that
it will probably cost us about $8 per shirt. So far, this is how many
shirts requests there a

Joey Neigh 2 MED
Jono Swartz 1 MED

I have brakes, gears, and handlebars on my uni =]

As far as the motto goes...just be sure that if you got it from
somewhere else that the original creator doesn't mind.

In 1998 you couldn't buy any of those things and gears were still a ways
off. :)

I like 1, 5 and 6. But on 6, just use the quote, not the attribute. To
99.9% of people who see the shirt, Kris Holm will be about as meaningful
as all those signatures on your unicycle.

I also like 9, which is possibly my favorite.

I'm just trying to be respectful to the one who made the quote--others
may not know him but to us, we know. I see what you mean, though, but I
don't want to commit the horrible crime of plagiarism. :)

John, I was reading in UNI magazine (issue 2) how you had a club back
in the 80's-90's in the NYC Unicycling Club article. Have you ever
ridden with them? On a different note, I have the impression that
Minnesota is the unicycling capitol of the US.

This is our thread, Albert. I added "2009" because that's the year
we're in and it makes the thread title a little bit longer and thus,
easier to see. It appears more current, relevant, and when we get to
2010, we'll know this thread was last year's old thread. :D

I'll vote for 8 and 11.

Joey- put me down for one medium shirt. I'm not too sure about the
sizing, but I'll let you know if I need a different size. Thanks.

Well don't worry about it--I'm buying a bunch of extras so you can try
them on before you buy it!

What do I do to become a member of DC Uni? I live in Maryland right
next to the D.C. line.

As for a motto, what about something more related to D.C. itself?

Wheel Isolation without Representation? That one is really corny, but
I think it'd be nice to have a motto that no other club could use.

Of what you've listed, 8 is my favorite.

I agree, something more DC related would be better.

Just shoot Joey (thread starter) a PM with your email address and
name.

For now, he is just sending updates via email, but I am going to turn
my site (in my sig) into a club website.
