Yeg Wheel Club

YegWheel on Sundays from 12:00 - 2:00

This is a club for wheelers to drop by and practice electric unicycle (wheel) riding, for learners of all levels. YEGWheel volunteers will help first-time riders to get started, and the club will provide gear to help with basic riding.

Note: this club is not intended to offer structured instructional classes and modified programs; it's an opportunity to gain exposure and try out the exciting activity that is electric unicycling. 

Club will provide small wheels suitable for indoor use for learning / practicing skills. Larger personal wheels will be permitted on a case by case basis and must be used in a way that does not leave a mess in the hall, particularly if they are normally used outdoors.  

For indoor, one-time registration is required to participate in the YEGWheel Club.

This is to ensure children have parental/guardian consent, that parents/guardians are informed of the risks in participating, and to ensure all participants are community league members and therefore covered under Ritchie's insurance policy.

Get your Ritchie Community League membership

Once registered, you can drop-in any week, any time. If you show up and there are already 10 wheelers, you may have to wait. 

Wheel Etiquette

• First on course, first to go.

• Make eye contact. Look for wheelers in the loop so they know you're going in.

• Travel is around the course, even if not using the obstacles. 

• Always travel the same direction as traffic

• Save the walls/stage. Do your best to stop your wheel from hitting walls.

• Children eight years or younger require a parent on course unless the child can demonstrate compliance with wheel etiquette and hall rules.

• Listen to coaches. They are volunteering and keen to share tips but also responsible for the club and hall use.
