Unicycle.com was launched on March 31, 1999.  Today, with locations in North America, Europe, Asia and Australia, and sales of 10,000 unicycles per year, the company is the largest retailer of unicycles in the world. Unicycle.com is a pioneer in designing, manufacturing and distributing equipment for the beginner and the professional.

From humble roots in a garage in metropolitan Atlanta, Georgia, to the hallmark for the unicycle industry in 10 short years is a remarkable achievement.  The American dream is alive and well. 

Unicycle.com chose the Boys and Girls Clubs of America as the recipient of a pilot unicycle program because of its mission to help children. "Boys and Girls Clubs provide a safe and positive environment where America’s children can relax, learn, have fun and grow," said John Drummond, president of Unicycle.com.  "Unicycling is a fun sport than can be mastered in few short hours. It’s a great indoor activity when the weather outside is uncomfortable. It fosters happiness and promotes good health for a lifetime."

Unicycle.com is sending unicycles, safety gear and a learning DVD to Boys and Girls Clubs in Chicago, Los Angeles and Newark. "We're looking forward to receiving this unique gift," said Kelly Ramos, development director of the Union League Boys and Girls Clubs in Chicago, "as an upscale activity for our Chicago youth."
