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.

That nice new Brompton, it folds and unfolds, does it?

A unicycle 1.99m *long*? A pennyfarthing without the farthing...

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.
