I thought this might be of interest to those of you following the Laos Unicycle Tour and also distance riders in general. Of note is the large number of Schlumpfs and Livewire Unis on tour. We have a selection of what several of the riders will be using in Laos, check em out !
One of the first big tours 6 years ago (UAM) saw the emergence of Cokers. Now we’re seeing significant numbers of geared unicycles (although I believe the Danish Unitour had at least one). Would be intesting to see if this trend continues in future tours.
I am sure that geared unicycles will become more popular as distance riding does. But I think the coker will always have its place because the size of the wheel means it can role over anything.
