  2. Uhh let me think about it. Both!!!! But really, I think it depends on
    not only how you use it, but how agressive you are. My sister not an
    agressive unicyclist at all, and she rides a 29er, while I ride and
    handle a coker easily. I really don't think she can handle a coker
    affectivly.

    I once cared about that, too. But after doing some MUni with Jeff
    Prosa in Central Park in NYC, I had my first
    subway-ride-with-unicycle. Jeff pointed out a lady with a baby
    carraige on the subway. The baby carraige took up more room than a
    Coker. *

    are we now comparing space taken up by living beings to the surface area
    of a Coker in a confined space?

    is this the cornerstone, the Coker final sololution?

    *I rode 103 miles on it in a day earlier this week, which was
    satisfying (Bath to London, on the A4), with average rolling speed of
    11.5mph. With my airseat I think I increased my longest stretch
    between dismounts to over 15 miles, in little over an hour on a
    glorious section of smooth road, early in the ride. Mmm..
    spinning...

    Maybe I'm just masochistically disinclined to bother with minor
    changes to stock supplied setups, believing that the biggest
    difference is likely to be a PMA and a good supply of water and Jelly
    Babies rather than any 10% tweak on the machine. At numerous urban
    junctions and traffic lights I was glad to have the leverage of
    relatively non-short cranks.

    Wow, no wonder you're so fast if you just pop up to London on your
    unicycle in a day. Are you considering the BUC challenge next year (ride
    to BUC, person who comes from furthest away gets free beer/drink of
    their choice)?

    I'd agree with you about doing little tweaks things, I've ridden my 29er
    with 125s all the time. I put 110s on my coker because that's quite a
    big difference, but I don't change those around ever for any other
    riding. I'm never organised enough to tweak my unicycle, I'd much rather
    spend the time riding. I've never bothered with all these airseats and
    super-handles and really expensive upgrades. As for all these people
    waiting to get only the best super duper coker to start on, they're just
    missing out on riding time which is what makes the difference much more
    than getting the poshest wheel and the most upgrades.

    I've taken the coker on the tube and it's alright, but I was not allowed
    to take it on once, when I had a massive rucksack with camping gear and
    a coker. Usually it's okay as long as you can put it over your shoulder
    rather than having to go through the gate where the man opens it for
    you. 29er is much less hassle though.
