Electric unicycles, Onewheels and more come together for Portland's weekly Friday Night Ride
The Friday Night Ride, a weekly event that started about four years ago, brings a parade of electric unicycles, e-bikes and skateboards through downtown Portland. The riders cheer, blare music and sway on their vehicles, which are usually covered in colorful LED lights.
But ask just about anyone involved in the Friday Night Ride and they’ll say the heart of the ride, and the reason it’s lasted so long, is Robert David Cyders.
Cyders, known throughout the Onewheel community by his online moniker “Uno Wheeler,” was one of the ride’s early organizers and its biggest promoter.

Wow, great video. I handed my prized onewheel with 20 miles to some random guy named Uno. Shorts, cowboy boots, and big ol handlebar stache. He put me at ease, rode off with my wheel, and waterproofed it perfectly... and the rest is history.
Rest in peace dad
Hell yeah! I love group rides!
Great Video! Thank you for posting.

Good video. Thanks for teaching me more about Uno. I never met that cat, and the ride is amazing.
Great video! Thanks for sharing and showing this great community in such a positive light! Crazy to think that a simple mode of transportation is illegal in so many places, so thank you Portland, OR for embracing it!
Great video! Greatings from Chicago!
Intesting Seattle’s SNR has also been going on for about the same amount of time. It’s not came and gone. Sure we have bad weather but it still rocking!
feel good content!
Fantastic video! I've been with the group for just over a year now and while I didn't have the pleasure of meeting Uno, I'm glad that I've been able to meet his spirit which lives in these rides.
I just made a friend down here in Salem and they told me about this event, needless to say I'll be there within the next month and see you guys. I have no one to ride with haha I'm like the only person on my side of town with a powerful electric scooter. This was a very watchable video thank you, also made me tear up a little. Uno wheel seemed like a great dude.
Best ride in the USA!!!
