Car Rack for Cokers - Suggestions?

I use a Thule ball mounted rack, but as they're Scandinavian they may be
expensive in Texas.
As long as you the tyre/tire clear of the exhaust/tailpipe, any
manufacturer should be fine.
You may get away with buying a 2-bike rack and buy an extra set of
rubber fixings for the third Coker, as they're lighter & narrower than
bikes. try before you buy, as it might not work! I can fit 4 unis & a
bike on my 4-bike rack.

I built this rack from scratch. Trying to make bike racks work for unis
seemed like a lot of bother with all the clamps bungees and the like.
with this rack the unis hang by the seat post between two padded
parallel bars. There is a latch that closes the end and is secured with
a wingnut.
With my Coker I put the rim of the wheel over the bars with the Coker's
frame between the tubes of the rack.
Best thing is that it loads and unloads in just a minute or two.

Eric-

What kind of car do you have? I fit 13 unicycles in the backseat of my
Mazda Protege when I drove to Minneapolis for NAUCC. Two of them were
Cokers. I took the pedals off to get that many in but they did fit. I
can see two Cokers in the back seat of a subcompact car with pedals on
with little difficulty. Three would be a trick but probably easy with
the pedals removed. John Childs has a Subaru Legacy hatchback in which
I believe we have put three Cokers with the pedals on. (JC, David
Maxfield, and me.) I may be wrong and the pedals came off for that
trip. Unicycles are surprisingly easy to get into cars.
