Inaugural Coker Ride with 110mm cranks - Pre Ride Post

Unicycles and Equipment

Well, I am about to take my Airfoil Coker rim out for the first time, minus a few loops around the parking lot. (I had it setup with 170Kookas because it’s first ride was going to be with my Single Speed rider friend)

I am about to go 13km through the city.

I took the Coker out in the hallway of the apt. today, and the very first time i hopped onto it, it felt exactly like my very first time on a unicycle.

It shot away from me, and I almost fell backwards.

A feeling I haven’t felt for quite some time while riding

I’m excited to go, but am quite anxious about how hard it will be.

Not to mention I haven’t used the brake on this thing yet, so I’m sure the first time I panick, I’ll grab the brake and fly off :frowning:

Ever wonder why we do the crazy things we do on purpose :thinking:

Good Luck. Short cranks definately take some getting used to, but they are worth it. You can cruise at amazing speeds.

Bridget Sprouls lent me her Coker with 102’s for the LBI unithon. I had the same experience with the uni flying away hilariously at first.

Admit it, you only wrote this so later you can write the “Post Ride Post”… :slight_smile:

Have a good ride!

your fine. dont worry about a thing. oh, and in response to why we do crazy things on purpose, we do it because we like the fact that its crazy, we like adrenaline, we like the rush of something like that, its amazingly fun… I could go on forever about that one. I have given that ALOT of thought
