  1. Cokers will never be as ugly as senseless polls.

  3. Cokers are totally cool. The big wheel may look odd but they don't look
    that bad.🙂

  5. Well as much as they are there for the speed, not the looks, I prefer
    the look of the nimbus 36er

    Well thats like saying all unicycles are ugly and using 'this'
    (http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=649) as your
    reasoning.

    uni just to make it look good.

    There are some of us that will upgrade our unis to make them perform
    better.

  14. I would have to say that the *process* of Cokering is not very
    aesthetic. I was on a combined big wheel/bike/rollerblade road ride a
    while back, and it pointed out to me how much biking and rollerblading
    are more aesthetically pleasing than Coker riding. The big wheel is
    impressive, but the wobbling and riding position is ugly.

  15. Ok fair enough but if yo0u can get a good deal and also get a uni that
    looks good within the price, then thats what you want isn't it. It may
    not be a coker -but i think u get pretty good/perfect aesthetics when u
    buy a KH20 07.

  18. A suitably ridden coker should have too much speed blur to be seen
    clearly.

    I prefer the look of my N36 over the stock coker frame, it just looks a
    little more balanced between the frame/sadlle/handle and the wheel, a
    stock coker looks like an enormous wheel with a tiny frame on it.
