Here's a list of search results on 'coker AND 29-er': -

http://tinyurl.com/4rr3y

loads of good perspectives there.

I've used a 29-er, and they're superb (way better IMO than a 28"😉. A
29-er is a 28" uni with a fat tyre.

Never used a Coker, but, if I lived in a place with big, safe, open
roads, I think I'd be well up for getting one.

Here's a summary of pros/cons of coker vs. 29-er.

Coker- good for distance, speed; wheel has loads of momentum so it's
'point it and go', when it's cruising there's little wobble or need for
constant adjustment.

Negatives are lack of manouverability- they can be dodgy/dangerous on
crowded roads and I wouldn't ride one on pavements (sidewalks). Wheel
fragility issues with the standard rim. Only one tyre available and it
costs around £50.

29-er- good for medium distance, more manouverable than the Coker,
easier to get on and off, lighter, more transportable, more tyre
options.

Negatives- it's not a Coker 🙂

My main tip for 29-ers from riding them a lot is to not necessarily
stick to the conventional wisdom of 5" cranks on a 29-er. Get a set of
150's instead, these will knock down the learning curve as they'll give
it the feel of a 'big 24"', as well as being good for off-road/rough
terrain, and making steep hills more feasable.

Don't even take that hunk o' pot metal off a curb. At least that's
what unicycle.com says. I say get something with better parts, a
better tire, and a more comfortable saddle for riding 6 miles/day.
