"JNugent" wrote in message ... If you care to re-read the relevant posts, you will see that the "non-existent" thing is any mention of "spikes" (except by your good self). If unicycles have no hardened steel parts (or bits), please accept my apologies (though I don't think it will be necessary). Which parts of a conventional bike are made of hardened steel then? Ball bearings. Not exactly sticky out pointy things though. |

sure the yike would be handy in my profession, involving as it does regular trips to London including using the Tube, if only I could ride it. But I can't yet, so I am using a nice new Brompton instead. That nice new Brompton, it folds and unfolds, does it? |

I think while it's being carried the major dimension of a giraffe unicycle counts as length not height. http://semcycle.biz/record/ says the record is a unicycle 35m tall. Banning it from the Underground seems entirely reasonable. |
