Upcoming events (4)
See all- Viva CalleSJ - April EventHayes Elementary School, San Jose, CA
RSVP closes at 8 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 alone. We will regroup at the activity hubs.
Rain or shine.

We will meet at Hayes Elementary School. Then, we'll take a short ride on neighborhood streets to join the main route on Shell Ave. From there, we'll ride north for 6 miles and turn around at SoFA District. The total distance will be around 12 miles. We'll stop and regroup at each of the three activity hubs: SCC Fairgrounds, SoFA District, and Martial Cottle Park.
SKILLS
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.) Be able to free mount and ride forward for a few miles. 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).
WHAT TO BRING
- Unicycle from 24" and up
- Helmet is required to ride with SVUG. Other protective gear such as knee/skin guards, elbow pads, gloves, etc. is recommended
- Although there will be hydration stations along the route, bringing your own water is recommended, especially on a hot day
- Snacks or money for food along the way
- Although monitored bike parking is available at activity hubs, bringing your own lock is recommended to avoid lines and delays if you wish to stop for activities
