You obviously don't see them, or look at them then. Unicycles are
driven directly without gears, cog or a chain...


Not all of them, clearly.


Only giraffes have chains, and they are not the kind you'd use for
commuting.


But (if I read between the lines clearly) such a unicycle is the only sort I
have ever seen.

I have not seen another these last... thirty+ years?


You might be surprised how many urcers own them. Most can even ride
them...


Perhaps I would be surprised. In fact, if there are many around at all (and
you seem to be saying so), I am already surprised.

Is it known that any are in use as pukka transport?


Yes. Sarah Miller late of this parish commutes on one in Reading.


Hmmm.

OK.
