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?

I don't think there's _any_ steel on either of my favourite bikes except
for the brake and gear cables and the bearing internals. Plenty of
aluminium, plenty of carbon fibre, some titanium... but that's kind of
twisting the issue, because what he meant to say was not '...hardened
steel pointy bits...' but 'hard pointy bits', and those bikes
admittedly do tend to have. But we're not talking about bikes, we're
talking about unicycles, and all the bits of a bike which are hard and
pointy are bits a normal unicycle just does not have.
