BarBell (picture - King Cage).jpgBarBell - a bicycle bell that doubles as a shotglass
American hand made bottle cage manufacturer King Cage has come up with the perfect accessory for the saddle-mounted hip flask already in its range – a bicycle bell that doubles as a shotglass.
Costing $40, the BarBell is made from titanium – as are some of its bottle cages – and is made in Durango, Colorado by Ron Andrews.
The metal cyclinder sounds as a bell when struck, but twists off easily to perform its shotglass function when required.
It might not be something you'd going to use on a sportive or your commute, but it could be perfect for a refreshing pitstop on a leisure ride such as the Tweed Run or – why not? – to give a spot of midnight warmth on the Dunwich Dynamo.
In moderation, of course.

Nothing says "welcoming environment" like uniformed thugs, umm I mean "security patrols " roaming the area.

Not glass, can't be a shotglass.
idiots.
Yeah, but "shot metal thing" sounds stupid
shot glasses don't need to be glass. I've an old pewter tumbler for my whisky. Tankards used to be either clay or pewter in times of yore.
You are shitting me?
Did you ever call your pewter tumbler a pewter glass?
only when an alcohol endured fog has descended.
haha! Idiot.
Well done, that's raised the apparent IQ immeasurably.
did you actually read what I said? 'Shot glasses' don't need to be glass! Maybe I should have included 'made from'. Anyway. Loved your response. Did it take much effort to drag your knuckles off the ground to type such an intelligent and witty reposite.
If they already do a hip(ster) flask, why do you need a shot glass? Surely you just swig from the flask? (But remember: don't drink and ride, people...).
From their bicycle clips for goldfish range.
Step one attach object to bike where it is likely to pick up road spray
Step 2 remove from bike
Step 3 fill with liquid
Step 4 drink
Some sort of weight loss plan?
Hipster bullshit.
Don't drink 'n ride kids
What's so wrong with drinking out of the bottle?
No doubt some fool will buy it.
Funny I was just thinking this morning that I wanted to attach some errant nonsense to my bike.
