I have done a sub-4:00 mile on a Schwinn Giraffe.
That was a looong time ago (before Cokers and before I got my big wheel
in 1982), with a 28:48 gear ratio if I remember correctly.
That's from a standing start.
No, a geared-up six-footer is not better/faster/safer/cooler than a
Coker or other geared "standard" unicycle!
