UNICON XV is Officially Open! Parade of Nations and Powhiri

Today was a pretty special day in Wellington, New Zealand! Unicon XV kicked off with a parade of nations. Approximately 650 Unicyclists from 23 countries rode down the Wellington Waterfront to Civic Square, where we were greeted with a Powhiri (Maori Welcome), followed by speeches from the local Maori, the Mayor of Wellington, and John Foss on behalf of the Unicyclists.
