A unicycle is a Nonholonomic system because its outcome is path-dependent.

In physics and mathematics, a nonholonomic system is a system in which a return to the original internal configuration does not guarantee return to the original system position. - http://http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonholonomic_system
