A unicycle has one wheel and a bicycle has two. If you take one wheel off a bicycle, it doesn't turn into a unicycle, it's just a broken bicycle. If you graft a second wheel onto a unicycle somewhere, it doesn't turn into a bicycle, it's just a unicycle with some odd decor. Can you define the difference between a bicycle and a unicycle?

A bicycle is any cycle that identifies as having two wheels. A unicycle is any cycle that identifies as having only one wheel. Most cycles don’t feel any disconnect between the number of wheels they were manufactured with and the number of wheels they identify as having.

Also- cycles are a spectrum, there’s not just those two cycles. There are also tricycles and quads and even bicycles with training wheels- none of them should be excluded from this discussion.

We should also make sure to note that there are many ways to be a bicycle- there are road bikes, tandem bikes, mountain bikes, electric bikes (to name a few, there are several more) and they are all valid.
