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?

prevents me by using the RIP Act 2000.

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.......

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

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?

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

Not that you see too many of them.

Well, they're a pedal driven wheeled vehicle. But does that cover your
definition of 'operated'? Because the answer is certainly "no".

There's an entire internet out there full of useful information - you have
my permission to go and learn.

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