I tried 12 ways of carrying coffee while riding a bike. Here’s the best way to sip on your commute.

The 12 ways of carrying coffee while riding a bike

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.

Watch the video for complete details:

Timestamp:

• 1:15 – Ride with one coffee in one hand.
• 1:36 – Ride with one coffee in hand, with no lid.
• 2:33 – Handlebar mount (in this case, I used a Handlestash: https://handlestash.com/)
• 3:42 – Handlebar mount with travel mug (in this case, I used a Contigo Travel Mug: https://www.amazon.ca)
• 4:49 – Travel mug in bottle cage.
• 6:33 – Travel much in panniers (in this case, I was using Vincita panniers: https://www.amazon.com)
• 7:11 – Travel mug in rear basket.
• 8:03 – Travel mug in front basket.
• 8:54 – Travel mug in backpack.
• 10:10 – Using a Yeti Rambler (amazing for keeping hot drinks hot: https://www.yeti.com)
• 11:35 – Using a hydration pack (you know, like a Camelbak. Like this one: https://www.amazon.ca)
• 13:51 – Using a beer helmet (seriously, don’t try this. But here it is: https://www.amazon.ca)
• 14:08 – My favorite.
