Brian O. said:I'll be going off to college next year, hopefully in the city. In terms
of storage I realize that the coker is obviously larger, but how much
more difficult would it be to fit in a small dorm room, and should that
be my deciding factor between the two? This summer I planned to do much
distance riding, but then what I've already said about next school year
is tearing me between the two.
The 36 is the best uni for its intended purpose, which is long-distance
touring. For all other purposes that I can think of, a smaller wheel is
probably more practical. You're going to be riding around a college
campus, going betwen classes, taking it in and out of buildings, riding
in the dorm hall when the RA isn't around... Sure, if you're
experienced enough you can do all of that on a 36, but something like a
26 or a 29 would be better suited to the lifestyle. If you can have two
unicycles, I would say that one of them should be a 36; I would
hesitate to recommend it as your only uni, though, unless distance
riding is really the only kind that you want to do. And every cubic
centimeter of space in a dorm room is worth its volume in, in, in some
really valuable stuff.
Consider also that you'll make more friends (the primary purpose of
college, after all) by letting other people try it out, and a Coker is
a nasty thing to try to learn on.
