    Question: Are the cokers ugly?

    - Yes they are (don't like them)
    - No they aren't (like them)
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Is it just me or are cokers really not sexy...

    the massive size of the wheel just makes it ugly for me... I don't know
    about other people though so let me hear your opinions.

  3. I like the look of a coker, and also the look of someone riding one,
    specially in a crouched down speed position. =p

  5. I don't why people think it's ugly. I think it's one of the best
    unicycling inventions to be ever made. Especially considering the speed
    you can get with the 36" compared to a 24" or 29er. Also if you can
    find someone to make you a 40" rim. The speed is increased between
    5-10km/h. :eek: :eek:

    If it's not speed that you're after, then these are wonderful commuting
    machines as they can travel long distances and is an efficient transfer
    of your pedalling energy. 😄 😄

  6. I like how they look because of the giant wheel and a short seatpost.
    That's what makes them better looking than 29"😄

  7. Also i think those who have 29ers probably wonder what its like to ride
    a coker (36er).

  10. Not many unicycles do look "sexy". Cokers look a bit odd unless they're
    being ridden, at which point they become amazing.

    I think most freestyles look a bit dowdy.

    Any uni's looks should be outshone by its rider's skill.

  18. My Nimbus 36 is very sexy, but only when I'm on it!

    Had a lady see me riding the other day, and she said "That's a big, uh,
    uh, ...wheel!"

    I wonder where she was really looking! :p
