technically UNI- cycle is not a BI-cycle so does it apply or is there a separate law governing single wheeled vehicles??
I don't know about Vermont law, but Texas law defines a bicycle as having two tandem wheels (among other requirements), and the law that requires brakes explicitly says bicycle so a unicycle wouldn't be covered. Neither would a tricycle, for that matter, if you wanted to a fixed brakeless recumbent trike ...
(There's separate laws that say that motor vehicles must have brakes ...)
