john.r.davies Posted July 31, 2016 Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 Every push bike shop is full of them, from plastic cages to tooled leather harness with brass buckles (for the Valpolicella, of course). http://www.halfords.com/cycling/bike-accessories/bike-bottle-cages John Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Arrr, it's a bugbear of mine Mike . . . not so much the fitting of such accessories, more this seeming need for everyone to have a bottle of water or cup of coffee with them at all times nowadays. I hate coffee shops and I hate bottled water Coffee should be instant, with water from a tap, served at a café or service station. I know, I'm a miserable old git!

matttnz Posted August 1, 2016 Report Share Posted August 1, 2016 Coffee should be instant, with water from a tap, served at a café or service station. Now that brings back fond memories of UK cafe culture... couldn't make a decent coffee to save yourselves. Has it improved? (Though I'm inclined to agree w the sentiment of paying for water that's no better than whats in the tap and in many cases over here inferior to what the council provides) Instant is a perfectly acceptable warm drink (just don't confuse it with coffee!)

TR5tar Posted August 1, 2016 Report Share Posted August 1, 2016 (edited) Now that brings back fond memories of UK cafe culture... couldn't make a decent coffee to save yourselves. Has it improved? (Though I'm inclined to agree w the sentiment of paying for water that's no better than whats in the tap and in many cases over here inferior to what the council provides) Instant is a perfectly acceptable warm drink (just don't confuse it with coffee!) I have to confess Matt, I'm not a coffee drinker, so I wouldn't know a latte from a Mellow Birds. Thinking about it, it could just be that I don't drink coffee because I was subjected to the instant stuff in my formative years, but who knows. Nor am I a regular drinker of pure water, so this obsession that some people have of always having a cup of coffee or bottle of water with them, just seems a product of brainwash marketing to me. Sure, I could understand the need to have fluids on hand at all times if we lived in a hot climate, but we don't. And I understand the importance of keeping hydrated when exercising hard. But, when I'm in Didcot, not Vegas, when I'm just driving or strolling around, not performing in an iron man competition or trekking, I can go 6-8 hours without needing a drink. I do of course appreciate that not everyone is like me in this respect, but I can't think that too many people actually "need" a drink every couple of hours or less. Star*ucks, Costafortune, and cupholders in cars are all a manifestation of the culture. Like I said, I'm a misery guts Edited August 1, 2016 by TR5tar Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If they did, we'd never have mention of F1 results in threads about the number of TRs on the road, would we Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Star*ucks, Costafortune, and cupholders in cars are all a manifestation of the culture. Like I said, I'm a misery guts You're bang on actually. The "8+ glasses a day" mantra is based on fluid intake for people over 24 hours. The fact that the vast majority of this fluid is taken in with solid food (lettuce is 99% water bw) was cheerfully ignored by the water marketing people And don't get me started on the "breakfast is the most important meal..." research sponsored by cereal companies... Star*ucks, Costalot don't make decent coffee either! They're the fast food milkshake of the coffee world. Tell you what; if you find yourself down this end of the world I'll shout you a decent cuppa or 2 and if you dislike it we'll call it even -or I'll try local craft beer instead! (warning: coffee down here is taken v seriously, but unfortunately is also infested with hipster types who display a disturbing similarity to those beardy types who used to mutter about real ale... ) COI here: Looking for a subtle holder for the early morning cuppa due to too many nikeenakeenookies issues from failures in the thigh holding strategy! What cars donated the above options? Any clever adaptions required? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
poolboy Posted August 1, 2016 Report Share Posted August 1, 2016 If you are walking you probably have one free hand, because the other hand is holding the wireless phone telling someone on the other end where you are, so you have to have something for that hand to do, so why not let it carry a bottle of water or cup of 10 dollar coffee....it's the American way.

Kevart Posted August 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 Hi I only wanted to know about cup holders The one that I fitted was out of a Vw polo 2005 I think. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
matttnz Posted August 5, 2016 Report Share Posted August 5, 2016 Nonsense...if you needed cup holders you doubtless wanted us prattling on about the merits of coffee too Thanks-that looks a nice install, though finding those over here might prove challenging. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sapphire72 Posted August 6, 2016 Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 Vintage Mercedes-Benz (Mercs) have no cupholders, either. Those guys recommend a fat roll of duct tape- doesn't move around on the floor & the center of the roll fits a cup, bottle, or can. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
