I picked up a copy of the 2006 Guinness book of records yesterday. There is no mention of unicyclists in the index but there IS a photo of a coker rider on the inside cover.
I saw that too. I spent forever searching that book in the store for it, but I couldnt find anything about any unicycles.
It's not even in the "strange/unusual sports" chapter.

It is definitely a coker. The attached image is pretty crappy which may be causing a bit of confusion. (sorry I don't have a scanner so made do with a digital camera shot of the book). On the original image you can make out the very distinctive coker tyre tread pattern plus you can also tell it is an airfoil rim. That means our mystery rider is not a small person.
I hadn't seen the picture when I made that suggestion. Because of the way I usually read and post here (using Usenet, writing offline) the pic was not yet posted, even though the time of my response is 46 minutes later. I agree it doesn't look like Ken. But it seems to be a Coker indeed, see attached processed picture. That must be a very tall man.
too tall for Roger davis, too male for me or tall claire, too old for tall Paul , Not Fat Paul, Not Rocket or Miark or Joe Marshall.... Not enough Hair for Steve Colligan , not enough beard for Stu ... I'm stumped. Sarah
