Morning joe from a jar

My girlfriend Cori has gotten me used to drinking my morning coffee from a glass jar with a straw. The benefits are it stays hotter longer and holds way more coffee than a mug does. In addition, on those cold riding days, I can tuck it in my tank bag and sip while I’m gearing up and packing the bike for the ride. The straw makes it helmet and glove friendly so you can sip up to the last minute. She’s a clever one that Cori. 🙂

Tank bags are also great for storing snacks. I’ve been commuting for so long on the same roads that I know which traffic lights are long enough to allow me to unzip the tank bag and grab a quick bite. I’ve munched on everything from M&Ms to bagels to Pop Tarts. If you’re gonna try it I’d recommend a modular (a.k.a. “flip face”) helmet, it can be a bit of a chore getting food past a chin guard. 😉

Be safe.
