Why do you need coffee on a bike molgrips?
Hehe, I was waiting for someone to ask that, I just knew it’d be you!
Picture the scene. A cold dark morning, I drag myself out of bed at 6am (equivalent to 3.30am in normal person time), I tiptoe around in the dark so as not to wake the wife or kids, I sit on the bog for 10 minutes whilst my brain defrosts and drags itself into the functioning early morning horror, then I put on cycle kit and grab the bike, still reeling, brain screaming.. I get on the bike and pin it to the station because it’s just about the only training time I get, no breakfast. I make it into town with time to spare but what’s this.. what’s down by the station? A coffee shop! Warm sweet strength, so sweet.. so delicious.. and they have almond croissants too. I lock up and go inside, buy my coffee but I don’t drink it yet – I want to sit and savour it as it nurses me to life on the train. So that means I have to carry it whilst I ride 400 yards to the station, buy a ticket and manhandle my bike all around the place with just one hand.
A cup holder would be great at this point.
