wrote in message : If they operate in the same way as bicycles, the answer must be "yes". Your ignorance is, as ever, encyclopaedic. They don't operate in the same way, and the answer is not, in any case, unequivocally yes for bicycles. The legal definition of cycles is, in most Acts where they are covered, "a bicycle, a tricycle or a cycle having four or more wheels not being in any case a motor vehicle". TfL's website only refers to restrictions on *unfolded bicycles*. In fact it says "To take a bike on public transport *without restriction*, you need to invest in a folding cycle" (my emphasis) which clearly implies that folding bikes are exempt. Unicycles have just the one wheel and no chain or handlebars. They are about the same width and thickness as a folded Brompton (depending on wheel size). A yike (unless it's a Coker or one of the bigger Munis) is likely to be smaller than a guitar, and will have no projecting oily bits. And of course it is not a bicycle, being short one wheel.
