While riding my bike one recent chilly morning, disaster struck in the form of a dropped coffee. Which got me wondering if there was a better way of enjoying my morning jolt while riding my bike. So after a robust conversation with some of you, I decided to test a dozen different methods of drinking coffee while riding.
1:15 Ride with the coffee in one hand.
1:36 Ride with the coffee in one hand, with no lid.
2:33 Handlebar mount (in this case, I used a Handlestash: handlestash.com/)
3:42 Handlebar mount with travel mug (in this case, I used a Contigo Travel Mug: amzn.to/3acrtKE)
4:49 Travel mug in a bottle cage.
6:33 Travel mug in panniers (in this case, I was using Vincita panniers: www.amazon.com/dp/B089R5PS8N/...)
7:11 Travel mug in rear basket.
8:03 Travel mug in front basket.
8:54 Travel mug in a backpack. This is a decent daypack, although not necessarily a cycling backpack: alnk.to/6TsoxU8
10:10 Using a Yeti Rambler (amazing for keeping hot drinks hot): alnk.to/2uzr3Qv
11:35 Using a hydration pack (you know, like a Camelbak. Like this one: amzn.to/2LxtI0I)
13:51 Using a beer helmet: (Seriously, don't try this. But here it is: amzn.to/2KwvfDD)
14:08 My favourite.
Thanks to Handlestash and Yeti for providing samples to try.
