I've seen bells for skaters made with a metal or plastic ring you can pass through your finger. They'd probably work just as well for a unicyclist.

(In related news, Firefox's built-in spellcheck doesn't include "unicyclist" but Chrome's does.)

It does in the British English dictionary, but it's not recognized in the en-US one. I had assumed they would both use the same dictionary, but maybe not(?)

There are a lot of words like colour, centre, realise, etc that aren’t spelled the same so having separate dictionaries makes sense

Yes, obviously, but it's mostly the same and you'd expect the bulk to be shared.
