I believe the answer is:

unicycle

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue could be a double definition.

'a singular thing' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'ride' is the second definition.
(I know that unicycle is a more specific form of bicycle)

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for unicycle that I've seen before include "Transport needing good balance" , "equipment for acrobat" , "Balancing act" , "One-wheeled vehicle driven by pedalling" , "that requires someone well-balanced in control" .)
