Cycling no-handed contravenes the Human Rights Act

unicycles without a back brake are illegal anyway aren't they

😉

actually I now remember a mate being stopped for unicycling. He challenged the policeman to state what was illegal about it and the copper after a bit of pondering did actually bring up the lack of a back brake, whereupon my mate laughed at him and rode off. They never bothered stopping him subsequently, despite it being a small town with the same copper likely seeing him again.

And thinking about the "back brake" thing, I presume a pennyfarthing is technically illegal for that very reason. Having done a pennyfarthing day in London, we dit meet a couple of police officers on horseback, but got away with it and one of the officers offered us a swap, but we didn't take her up on it.

No back brake on a non existent back wheel...?

Probably trying to apply the bicycle legislation to a uni cycle (which is not a bicycle).

I think if mid ever come across a unicycle while on an unhurried foot patrol I'd have just smiled and waved (unless the rider was behaving like a total loon.)

Some arguments really aren't worth having.

Should have said someone stole the back wheel and could they have a crime number

They are doing the same for drivers who's hands aren't on the wheel, whilst driving?

Given the number of deaths due to cars, including due to vehicular pollution, surely any driver can be technically pulled over for this.

Is the back wheel non existent

or is it the front wheel that is missing??

Front wheel.
How many front wheel drive bikes have you seen?

Good point, excellently made.

And being a fixie, the rear wheel has the braking action built in.
