Welcome.  Sweet ride and what a quick and thoroughly impressive learning curve.  I look forward to seeing you on a group ride soon!

Hi All! ... New rider and member to this forum.... here in Silver Spring. 

My new 10F came at 3pm Tuesday! ... After a few “get-offs” I was doing figure 8s in the backyard  after 40 min of riding that afternoon. I rode Rock Creek Trail along Beach drive yesterday.  What a blast!!  I’m 65 and a motorcycle Trials rider so I think my balance skills helped my transition to 1 wheel.

  Hope to meet up with the local group this fall.

New Yorkers, maybe!  In any case, as a beginner I was impressed with the (DC-focused) EWheel Going Out Group as a calm & welcoming bunch.  Expeditions were well-planned, accommodating of humbler wheels, respectful of the leisurely public.  And the participants: level-headed and thoughtful.  Each in their own way.

Downtown, Penn Quarter, East End, NoMa, Atlas District, Capitol Hill Tour!

Aw, I don't really want to see the Atlas District or very much of NoMa.  Could you cut those out?

Edit:  Instead of NoMa & Altas District, could we drop down to Southeast & Southwest for the westbound return part of the loop?  It's amazing how a lot of that stretch (take I Street for example) has been redeveloped.  And, I don't know if it's worth scheduling, but there's a duck pond at 5th & I SW.

I've noted those for future rides.  Thanks for the feedback!

An un-erring choice of a beautiful day, as always.  I am hiding under the couch in fear of coronavirus, but a few minutes ago I spotted a pair of unicycles (among other, more primitive electrified gadgets) swooping around the bend at 1st & Pennsylvania, the northwest corner of the Capitol Reflecting Pool.  Yesterday in early mid-afternoon there were at least a dozen unicycles & pilots at the plaza outside the Giant on 14th Street NW near "DC USA" amidst am impromptu carnival of joyously honking cars and kazoos rapturously blaring from balconies.

Hey all! New EUC rider here. Just picked up a Ninebot One C+ about 2 weeks ago. Been having fun around the neighborhood and learning how to handle this thing. I live in Woodbridge, though I spend time in Arlington, Alexandria, and Falls Church a lot. Any riders out this way? I'd love to ride with some other people sometime.

Hi everyone! 
Please join our facebook group and telegram channel for DC area EUC riders!

We ride every week, even in the winter. We also teach newbies and organize skill practice sessions for everyone. Finally, we help each other pick the right wheel, fix any issues, and collaborate on mods. All for the pure love of EUC!

Just a note, as with any other hobby, please be wary of any groups led by individuals with financial incentives.

For people who don't like Facebook there's Telegram and vice versa :)

 

But I just meant that I find that it is good to be skeptical of people who make money off of the EUC community.

I'm not aware of any EUC groups that do that.  Just curious who that might be?

There are local wheel resellers who run groups in a few cities, DC included.
