===Touring/commuter unicycles=== [[File:36"Einrad.JPG|thumb|{{convert|36|in|mm|adj=on}} unicycle with Schlumpf gear]] Used for long distances, these unicycles are specially made to cover distances. They have a large wheel diameter, between {{convert|26|and|36|in|mm|abbr=on}}, so more distance is covered in less pedal rotation. A {{convert|36|in|mm|adj=on}} unicycle made by the [[Coker Tire]] company started the big wheel trend.<ref>{{cite web |url = http://blog.coker.com/index.php/2008/01/11/to-coker-is-a-verb-with-one-wheel-and-tire-on-it/#more-151 |title = "To Coker" is a verb with one wheel and tire on it! |access-date = 2008-05-13 |url-status = dead |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20080316010236/http://blog.coker.com/index.php/2008/01/11/to-coker-is-a-verb-with-one-wheel-and-tire-on-it/#more-151 |archive-date = 2008-03-16 }}</ref> Some variations on the traditional touring unicycle include the [[Schlumpf Drive|Schlumpf]] "GUni" (geared unicycle), which uses a two-speed internal fixed-geared hub. Larger direct-drive wheels tend to have shorter cranks to allow for easier cadence and more speed. Geared wheels, with an effective diameter larger than the wheel itself, tend to use longer cranks to increase torque as they are not required to achieve such high cadences as direct-drive wheels, but demand greater force per pedal stroke.
