"The Chain That Binds,Cycling and Coffee's Unlikely Partnership"Article in Fresh Cup Magazine--No autographs please.

SMS

There's a good article about bicycling and coffee in this month's _Fresh
Cup_ magazine. Naturally it mentions "http://bicyclecoffeesystems.com"!

I was interviewed by the author for the article, though only a little of
the interview made it into the article. No autographs please.

Note: helmets are mentioned in the article only once, in the context of
coffee house owners being advised to have hooks for cyclists to hang
their helmets, jackets, etc.

Whole populations surveys shows that cyclists that drink coffee live longer.

The article is at:

=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.

| 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. :-\

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.

If I quit my 4-5 double espresso/day habit I might be spared the last
few years of babbling and drooling in a diaper? Gotta think about that...

I don't believe diapers are meant for
babbling & drooling into. However,
I suppose it could be done. Maybe it
could even become an art form. Maybe
Alan Ginsberg has already done it.
I wouldn't be surprised.

Anyways a nice cuppa quoffee is for enjoying
right now, not some time in the distant future.

If I wanted to extend my allotted time in this
vale of tears, lose weight and ward off various
cancers, I'd switch to green tea. But I don't
gotta do any o' that razmatazz. Besides, the
political encumberances & ramifications of
the coffee trade are well-documented. I'm not
so sure about green tea.

So <raising my Bean Around The World travel mug>
here's to our affection for a good cup of eye-opener.

Sometimes green tea is nice too. Especially after
eating curried stuff.


cheers,
Tom

That's funny, I was just thinking recently that if i opened a bike shop
round here, that a coffee shop would complement it perfectly.

Don't know where 'here' is, but it has been done, quite successfully:

Beside the Warburton Rail Trail at Mt Evelyn, a very cool coffee shop.

I think it leaves a lot unanswered. For example, there's no
indication of the relation between cycling exercise and the amount of
coffee consumed. Can you compensate for not being able to get on the
bike by drinking more coffee? How many cups of coffee would you need
to drink to equal a three hour ride? A lot of research remains to be
done and a Chung chart created.

Don't forget a comparison of the effects of robusta versus arabica.

Bristol UK has a combined bike/coffee shop, The Mud Dock. Ideal for
the bike poseur who wants to keep their bike immaculately clean.
Just sit by the dock, looking at the boats, and drinking coffee,
rather than actually riding.
