I take it you found the guy and rode the Coker?

Greg,

So when are we going to get some action shots of you cruising around on this thing? What about a little video footage of you whizzing by, to give a sense of speed?

And when do you plan to have a big rendezvous with other Coker / Commuter types, to put them in their place and/or try your baby out?

I'd be interested in hearing the comments by Coker Riders on the subject of your new creation.

The amazing and infamous Greg Harper never stops.
What an amazing device. I think Greg has also built, in his garage, a 'crude, to scale model of his town -although he presently didn't have time to paint it properly'.

Not only does it sound like it rides well, but it looks good, and plays the piano. With a unicycle like that who needs a pet?

Keep up the good work, let us know what one of these will cost.

A 29er is only a little larger than a 26, and a 26 is only a litle larger
than a 24. A 29 handles fine on all but the tightest single track.I'm
rather fond of ours. Think of it as a big muni rather than a small
coker...
