The best coffee of our town can be found right opposite the DESIGNSPOTTER headquarters in the Belgian Quarter of Cologne: At the Red Vic on Bruesseler Street.

We can’t even estimate how many gallons of coffee we’ve drank this year. With every other cup we had a thought though: In the days of global warming and climate change modern urbanites choose their bike as their preferred means of transportation. On their way to the office they like to grab a “coffee to go”.

Or more likely would LIKE to grab a coffee! How can you ride your bike and drink your coffee safely at the same time?

This is more than enough reason for us to initiate a competition together with the Red Vic. We are looking for the coolest and most relaxed solution on how to ride your bike and simultaneously drink a scrumptious coffee.

"DRINKandDRIVE coffee cup" – we are awaiting your ideas and solutions in the name of all cyclists in the world.
