Give it a go. My bottle cage is one of those shapes which will accept a coffee cup but we've no drive-through Costa.We now have a drive through Costa near us, I wonder if it is also a cycle through.............
Well, no, he's standing in front of it, taking a photo. That's pretty good security.
I always stick the bike in the highest gear possible when leaving it outside a cafe
I suspect opportunists wouldn't have much idea how to shift the gearing and there's no way they're going to be fast away on 50/11
Or they could just walk away with it.
Which makes another point, would McDonald's refuse service to a motorcyclist? Or a moped? Or an electric bike or trike?I was at a McD drive-through in Hampshire because I didn't have a bike lock (was craving a strawberry milkshake part-way through a ride).
"I'm sorry, we can't serve you if you are on a bicycle."
"Really? I don't have any reverse gear! How will I get back out?"
"Oh... well, we can serve you this time."
Either a bit thick or really didn't care much.
Me too,then I thought,best find out where this café is if its rough!I thought this thread was going to be about Coffee Shop Bouncers, like a door man at Bettys, (overpriced pretentious cafe in York and Harrogate for our foreign readers)
Its a while since I had a coffee whist out on the bike,but on the last occasion the café was full of some WI types,hulking great brutes they were.The bike was safe and I survived,but attractive as my legs are in Lycra it was touch and go...if you get my drift!I just put some photos of the ex around the bike. ( believe me it will scare even the most hardened criminals away)
Given the location of one of my favourite local cafes, I think that I have spotted a flaw in that approach ...I always stick the bike in the highest gear possible when leaving it outside a cafe

Kirsty, a friend of mine, who was in a wheelchair for a while, as a result of Lyme Disease, tried it at McDonalds (with an accomplice pushing), but were refused drive-through service (possibly, the one at Pontefract, after volunteering at the ParkRun)We now have a drive through Costa near us, I wonder if it is also a cycle through.............
