Hi alll,

Can you take a unicycle on the London Underground?


You can take a bike on large sections of it and if not it'll certainly
give the jobsworths a headache searching for a rule in the rule book to
ban it.

Dont have to search a rule book...its basic knowledge in training,
They are banned underground for safety and comfort reasons. Imagine having a
a bike stuck next to you at 08:30 along with the other 500 people. Grease,
ripped tights etc......and then it would be a claim against LUL. My
experience of people with bikes has been that they think they should be
allowed on as they are saving the nation.....damn the rest of the public and
they can climb over the bike to get off.
