Do you commute to work on your bike?

[Moi]

Yeah...And then, I only drink small cups on the road - it runs through the system quickly (especially in cold weather) and then I have to stop to pee ..

Know the problem... still chuckling though...

[Gremlin]

So that I can go through a drive through on my bike? (put the food in the Packrack and the cold drink in the cup holder)

I went through a drive thru on a bike, 2up. Guy barely blinked. Makes me wonder what they see...

Done. Now time for a coffee

He was probably blazed as and only blinked after you rode off.

I am interested in the coffee thing, purely for selfish reasons - I go to Unitec most days and I stop in at the cafe to get coffee before class. I tape it to my tank with one long piece of whatever tape I have and then ride to class over the driveway with heaps of speed bumps. I used to get a cappuccino and it worked fine, but now I take it w no milk and it sloshes out on to the bike haha. I do the same with Mcdonalds cups and stuff, just tape!

There are heaps on the market but they are all pretty naff


.. none of them look vibration/spill proof ! I'm trying to figure out if it's a pointless idea or not.. another idea I will play with is a fold-out (maybe like transforming or origami type thing) storage for sportsbikes, so folds down for slickness and expands to fit a box of beers / helmet sized storage volume (maybe bigger)? That's probably gonna be more useful..!

LOL reading the survey answers are hilarious! Thanks guys! Some great feedback, trending problems rain, cold and storage.

Do any of you store your helmet and/or jacket on/attached your bike? How?

No

My bike does have a helmet lock - but I never use it

For those of you that didn't get the tail end of the survey - if you want to answer, this is what remained:

- Your favourite and least favourite things about riding.
- 3+ most useful accessories you own.
- Accessory wishlist.
- Comments / ideas

thanks <3

Top box takes helmet on one side, jacket rolled up on the other. Helmet usually goes in the top box, but jacket goes with me.

Should have put heated grips on the love list, been enjoying them with the odd cold night recently.

+1

Also would like to stop by at a cafe have a coffee takeaway. But that holder better be vibration proof as hell.

Being handle bar mounted like the one in the earlier pic you might be in for a good time turning corners. Sat on the tank or hanging off the body work centrifugal force keeps it in the cup.... Unless you really fuck it up.

I'm sure some one will be along shortly to tell me out is centripetal.
Then a bun fight will ensue...

Or you can take them a small thermos and put it in your bag / tape it to your tank.

I gave up at the tail end I'm afraid and did not bother submitting the survey. I commute on weekdays, I park my bike a block from work and most days grab a coffee when walking from the bike to the office. I don't drink on the bike because I wear a helmet and bikes take a bit more input than sitting on your arse in a car with the heater and the radio on and one hand free to hold a coffee.

Everyone I have seen in a car drinking a coffee has immediately registered on my wanker radar. People on bikes would be 2x.

Quite enjoyed the survey until the caffeine hit..........
