[edit] Bicycles and unicycles
At one time, Coker marketed the "Wheelman", a penny-farthing, with a 36-inch (910 mm) wheel in front and a 12-inch (300 mm) wheel behind, and for a short time in the 2000s, a cruiser-style bicycle with 36-inch (910 mm) wheels called the "Monster Cruiser".
Coker sells, and as of January 2008, manufacturers a touring-style unicycle with a 36-inch (910 mm) wheel called "The Big One". [1]
