Cokers?

[The_SkunkMan]

What are coker uni's used for? What is good Muni? I more into trial and
freestyle riding, but I might start Muni.

Opening bottles of Coca Cola. They were originally just a marketing
stunt, but now built-in bottle openers are common on unicycles. Torker
is coming out with a unicycle that opens twist-off caps.

The trend is moving to bicycles, too. Surly is selling a line of fixed
gear bikes with built-in bottle openers in the rear fork ends.
Campagnolo has been trying for years to integrate a corkscrew into their
brake levers, however product safety concerns keep this just an R&D
effort.

Cokers are not normally used for Muni.
They are used to humble those who think they can free-mount anything.

correction, cokers are for those who think they can IDLE anything. i
like to seat out hop and one foot my coker, but it is really used for
going fast and travelling. i can go about 12mph on mine. they are
definitely a uni to have in your collection.

Cokers are used to make mechanics humble and frustrated.

Cokers are mobile launch platforms! Today I was going down a steep
muddy downhill single track trail when I hit a small log that was hiding
under the leaves, the bounce sent me flying into the air. After awhile I
was thinking “hey shouldn’t I be on the ground about now”. It felt like
being in a cartoon where gravity doesn’t kick in till you look down.

Happy flying.

I'm afraid bottle openers on bikes have been around for some time.
I forget which company but I remember someone posting here a while ago
with a photo of a mtb's headstem which contained a bottle opener....

The BMX stem that doubles as a bottle opener was mentioned in my amazing
thread about my 'Aircorps opening a bottle of root beer'
(http://tinyurl.com/2grr).

Cokers are for going out for an hour's ride and doing well over 12
miles.

Cokers are for riding 50 miles or more in a day.

Cokers are for riding through the woods or along the river bank with
miles and miles between UPDs.

Cokers are for cruising along single track on autopilot while you change
your top and put it in your rucksack, then search for something to eat,
have drink of water, then suddenly realise what you're doing.

Cokers will go off road and enjoy it.

Cokers are for maxing out at bicycle speeds then launching you into
orbit.

They're jolly spiffing actually.
