The purposes of the IUF include: :*'To foster awareness of and participation in unicycling as a sport and means of recreation among people of all nations through the organization of international conventions and the development of national unicycling organizations'. :*‘to promote voluntary international standards for competition toward the achievement of Olympic status for the sport of unicycling’. The IUF develops the IUF Rulebook, which is the governing document for Unicon and other competitions. The By-Laws do not specify which
unicycle discipline (freestyle,
basketball,
hockey, track, high jump, long jump,
street, flat, trials, cross country,
muni, etc) should be in the Olympics, or whether the IUF’s objective is that all disciplines should be in the Olympics. :*‘disseminate knowledge and information on all phases of the sport to all interested parties via a newsletter’. The IUF maintains a website and Facebook page to inform members and interested parties about the sport of unicycling. ==References==
