Ah, basic knowledge. Pardon me while I laugh.

They are banned underground for safety and comfort reasons.

What are banned precisely?

If unicycles are banned then presumably the much larger rucksacks
are also banned. If not, why not?

I will always explain revoked keys, unless the UK government
prevents me by using the RIP Act 2000.

Laugh????? Why is that then?

Ok so you want them banned also????? ...perhaps you would like to ban
children in peak time? Or guide dogs? What about those pesky other paying
people....you could have a car all to yourself if they weren't on as
well.......

Can you take a unicycle on the London Underground?

I would think you are honour bound to try it, if only to wind up the
peaked cap brigade!

Keep up.....caps are no longer a part of the uniform.

I regard it in much the same way as I regard common sense.

If unicycles are banned then presumably the much larger rucksacks
are also banned. If not, why not?

I note that you did not answer the question.

Non existent training I'd say:

"You can take an unfolded bicycle with you free of charge on certain
sections of the London Underground (see below).

You cannot travel between the hours of 07:30 - 09:30, and 16:00 - 19:00,
from Monday to Friday (except public holidays).

Bicycles must not be taken on moving escalators, the Victoria Line or
the Waterloo & City Line.

Tube line information for cyclists
Circle line, District line, Metropolitan line, East London line,
Hammersmith & City line
Bicycles permitted on all sections.

Bakerloo line
Bicycles may be taken in the direction from Queen's Park to Harrow &
Wealdstone in the morning peak and vice versa in the evening peak.

Central line
Bicycles may be taken between White City to West Ruislip/Ealing
Broadway. Leyton to Epping. Newbury Park/Woodford to Hainault.

Jubilee line
Bicycles permitted between Finchley Road Stanmore and Canning Town -
Stratford."

I think he mentioned them as a way of highlighting the idiocy of banning
a unicycle...

....in the same way as you mentioned that lot to highlight the idiocy of
banning rucksacks.

Why?

Do rucksacks also have hardened steel sharp bits sticking out and/or covered
in black grease as well?

Do unicycles?

If they operate in the same way as bicycles, the answer must be "yes".

Not that you see too many of them.

I don't know about rucksacks but pushchairs do. OTOH my bicycle doesn't.
