It seems that people either Love the coker, or they hate it. I say we
post a poll.

I don't know why anyone would hate a Coker.
I am can't imagine riding anything else but my Coker.
Hmmm, I guess for MUni and trials Coker would be bad due to the weak
wheel frame.

i think peeple that like unicycles for their coolness and difficulty to
ride don't like Cokers as much as peeple who like unicycles more for
getting places

hmm, well, apparently you're right, almost as many people seem to hate
cokers as love them...except, there were no 'in between' choices, except
for 'meh, they're okay.'
so.

I kept meaning to have a go on the coker at crawley but I never got
round to it.

I was very impressed with all the colourmatched powdercoated parts on it
too.

Rupert will be very pleased . He got it coated to match his other unis
(His 20 & 28 both match it).

The trick I found with freemounting the coker is to hold the tyre as you
jump up. Then the cranks don't move, you get into a stable position and
ride off, as if from a wall. Rollback mounts (unless very well
practiced) will not work, you have to do a static (my preferred method)
or a rolling mount. It takes lots of practice, and I still only get it
after 3 or so attempts.

Good to everyone at Crawley, and get the chance to play on many
unicycles and watch the excellent show. I'd never been before, but I am
definitely going to go again (and again... and again...).

Rupert wasn't pleased that my 26" uni had the same rolling radius as his
28" though , The difference a big tyre can make.

Crawley was indeed great with most of the unicyclists gathering and
spending a lot of the night riding around the car parks.

Only thing lacking was a unicycle in the show but the gandini project
and the stretch people more than made up for it.
