  1. Hi

    I am getting ready for UNICON and really excited.

    I wanted to ship my Coker to Switzerland, but find that Canada Post
    will not do it and that it will be incredibly expensive and quite
    complicated to send it by courier. I am entered in the marathon and
    10k races and really do want to participate.

    So, I was wondering if there is anyone who will have a Coker at UNICON
    that they are not planning to use themselves in these events, and that
    they would be prepared to lend me. I would be very grateful if anyone
    would do this. If there is anyone and they can think of a way that I
    could repay them let me know … I could bring something from
    Canada…copies of my movie…Toronto Unicyclist or Bedford t-shirts???

    I’m really looking forward to meeting everyone in Switzerland.

    Jeff
    Toronto, Canada

    At the risk of sounding like a copycat, me too! I'm in a similar
    situation - I'd like to take a muni, my trials uni and my freestyle uni
    as well as a coker to UNICON. However the airline's excess baggage
    charges for taking all these wheels halfway round the world would be
    astronomical. In return for use of a Coker I can offer a Team NZUNi
    T-shirt or copies of my movies on DVD...

    Any others? (we could start this into a bidding war...)

    There could be two or three spare for the 10k & Marathon - I suggest
    any one else after one (except John Foss) post here if they would like
    to join the list!

  5. My 36" should be free for the marathon, I won't be using it as I leave
    that morning. This can't be confirmed until after we arrive as I am not
    convinced all the 'essential' wheels will fit in the car, this is
    equally true for the car which would bring it back to the UK for me.

    I am riding in the 10k, but I might ride alongside one of my kids as
    they are too young to ride alone, if so I would use my 29er. If they
    drop out I will be on the 36".

    Thanks for the offer Keg, we'll see how this pans out at the event.
    See you in Switzerland.
