Hi everyone. I am seeking your opinion on a consideration I am making. My husband and I live along a moderately popular bike route in a rural part of the U.S.. Because the route goes on for miles in an area with no restaurants or stores, I thought cyclists might enjoy it if we were to set up an outdoor spot for a stop off and offer light meals or a place grab a snack or some water. If you found yourself on such a route do you feel this would be a welcome option, or do you feel most cyclists come fully prepared and would have little interest or need in such a place?
If we put it in, it would be just like a small 'coffee cabin' type structure or a food trailer with a few picnic areas outside. If we were to set something like this up, what type of snacks or small meals would you recommend we offer? I assumed trail mix, granola, water, maybe some electrolyte mix ins or sports drinks etc are a given but I'm looking for other recommendations as well. I also welcome opinions on if you feel not so great snacks should be offered as well....chips, ice cream bars etc. If we offered meals, what should we offer.....are burgers, etc okay or should we go for healthier options? What other type of items do you feel cyclist might be especially interested in us having in stock?
Thanks in advance for the help and please be kind. We just started cycling a month or so ago ourselves but this is all very new territory to us, so what may seem like what should be common knowledge to most cyclists doesn't yet apply to us because we are learning!
