No unicycles allowed... the irony.

But that's how we do things in Australia. The quietest bloke in the group is called "Rowdy" and the bloke with red hear is called "Blue".

So Iam OldnCranky because I am and I am not.

Thanks for straightening that all out for me! Got it.

Antipodal reasoning.

At a ferry terminal in Malaysia, we weren't kicked out for riding unicycles, but rather for leaning our unicycles against the wall. This is fair and understandable because they had a clearly marked place for 'cycles' to go...

Some might say that using australian and reasoning in the same sentence is an oxymoron.

Does any other state have laws such as this in there books as does alaska? has anyone had any success changing it? it is unfortunate because in AK any road between towns, and there is usually one road, is considered a "highway" in AK. Even the Denali Highway i road this summer which is over 100 miles of dirt. luckily didn't have to test it with a trooper.

13 AAC 02.395. Riding On Bicycles And Certain Non-motorized Conveyances.
e) No person may operate a unicycle, coaster, roller skates, or similar device on a highway.

In NZ there are roads designated as "motorway" and bikes are not technically allowed. Some of the motorways have been created just to attain funding from the national land transport money rather than having to use regional money, like one just outside of New Plymouth which goes for about 1km. Our cycle advocacy group managed to get it changed (I think) but it is much more difficult to remove legislation or motorways than to put them in. I don't think the rule was ever enforced, as even major cycle events would go straight through the no cycling motorway without taking an awkward detour to avoid it.

This type of transport should be encouraged.
Ban "no cycling" rules!

Unicycles are specifically banned from the library at my old university. Not that I ever rode it inside, and it was easier to take it inside than tie it up if I knew exactly what I was looking (which I usually did...). Ah well. They say forming policy is good.

I am more interested in finding out who got "No roller-skating on the roof of any library buildings" into the rulebook.

Anyway, now I'm 41 and generally a law-abiding citizen. One of the YMCA's in my area has an outdoor skatepark. I started riding there one day and was asked to leave (nicely) because they ONLY allow skateboarders. I was the only one in the park at the time... Being a parent and an adult, I can understand the need for rules, but it still sucks.

Was just wondering how many other street/flat Unicyclists have been asked to leave by security guards and/or property managers, etc.

That's funny! The YMCA in my city actually has a circus, with unicyclers and the such.

laws must be specific as to what is prohibited. State stautues define a bicycle not unicycles.
