I called them today.
They are all to happy for me to ride a uni, and sounded very excited.

Excellent...that's the same reception I got. Good Luck if you decide to
go for it!

When some UK unicyclists were getting refused entry to UK mountain
bike events, they fitted a tiny wheel underneath teh saddle. It then
becomes a pedal-powered two-wheeled cycle, and is more difficult to
exclude from bicycle events.


AIUI that was a legal issue, rather than any desire on the part of the
organisers to exclude unicyclists. The law that allows cyclists to ride
on bridleways in the UK specifically mentions bicycles. Unicyclists and
tricyclists have no explicit right to use the bridleways that were used
in Polaris events (at least in England and Wales, they do things
differently up in Scotland).
