"The Chain That Binds,Cycling and Coffee's Unlikely Partnership" Article in Fresh Cup Magazine--No autographs please.
The article is at:
http://www.freshcup.com/back-issues/...that_binds.htm =v= Nice. Velo Rouge in San Francisco is truly a trip, and they have Blue Bottle coffee. Blue Bottle itself now has two locations in the city, the first (on Linden Alley) is slated to become something of a woonerf and the second (at Mint Plaza) has prompted the installation of bike racks. =v= There's also the Mojo Bicycle Café, which has coffee up front and a bike shop out back. A biker who moved from Portland to S.F. founded Ritual Roasters, which trucks in Stumptown beans and attracts a large fixie-rider following. | Jim Porter of Soma Fabrications, a San Francisco Bay area bike | frame and accessories designer that makes a "Morning Rush" | coffee mug and holder for bicycles ... =v= The holder's good, but as http://bicyclecoffeesystems.com/ indicates, stainless-steel is better than plastic. :-\ _Jym_ P.S.: For folks in the middle of the U.S., Just Coffee has a "Revolution Roast" that is tailored to the needs of community bike program wrenches. |

[Returning to a Year-Old Thread with New Information!]

Linden Alley was the last stop on our first Tour d'Espresso ride, though: http://tinyurl.com/tourdespresso =v= There's also the Mojo Bicycle Café, which has coffee up front and a bike shop out back. A biker who moved from Portland to S.F. founded Ritual Roasters, which trucks in Stumptown beans and attracts a large fixie-rider following. =v= Ritual is still fixie-licious. Mojo is using Ritual for drip coffee, but their espresso is from De La Paz, a relative newcomer on the coffee scene. AND on the bike scene! They deliver their coffee beans by bike. Here's the Mission Mission blog's take on it: http://missionmission.wordpress.com/...y-a-grown-man/ My friend Greg is their new delivery guy: http://www.delapazcoffee.com/blog/ =v= We were also discussing ways to carry hot coffee on bikes. I have settled on this item from Thermos/Nissan: http://tinyurl.com/th3rm0s The inside is metal, not plastic, the lid works better than most, and the silicone grip is positioned just right for it to fit into most water bottle cages. In the Bay Area, they sell this at some Peet's Coffee shops, and if you bike up Highway 1 to Mendocino, you'll find that Thanksgiving Coffee sells them, too! _Jym_ |

The problem with that Thermos/Nissan cup is that a) it's not leakproof, and b) it's not well suited to drinking while riding because there's no spout. |

I like the OXO cup- it fits a bottle cage and is leak-resistant. 73, doug |

I find the title of this really funny, as coffee certainly doesn't "bind"
me. Even decaf. If I'm going riding any time within the next couple of days, you won't see me NEAR a cup of coffee...or a coffee maker....or a store that SELLS coffee!!!! |

Funny - when touring, a nice cuppa black can be great just for that reason. Those efficient camping/energy foods can be more binding than is healthy, especially when coupled with partial dehydration and unusual exertion. It's all in the timing, though. Don't do this on the east end of Rochester when heading west. |

Rochester when heading west. Well, if my full name didn't show up in each of these posts, I could tell you some stories that would either have you splitting at the seams or feeling really bad for me! Yeah...it's all in the timing. Like, don't drink coffee unless you're no further from home than your garage!! |
