If that's the worst part you're having a goddamn amazing time.

Maybe you should put something to dampen that. Like bubble wrap, newspapers, stuffed animals?

I get more bike maintenance issues if my route to work has a lot of cobbled roads. I end up taking longer routes to avoid the cobbles. There are not enough dedicated cycle paths.

Now I'm gonna tell you a "secret".

We European drinks mainly water from the tap, when we don't drink beer or wine od course.

(except many Italians mi, they're stupid and buy water in plastic bottles).

What kind of bike is that?

That's a lot of sugary drink 😂

Did you know there is a maximum pressure in the bottle, at which point shaking has no more effect since the pressure keeps the bubbles in your drink? This point is quickly reached, and already happened before it went into the store.

Get some shocks for your basket 🤷‍♂️

Seems like the worst part is not too bad, all things considered. All you need is half an hour patience with the fizzy drinks ;) Have to say, hate cycling on the cobbles, but love the look of them in the cities! Also, cobbles generally force cars to slow down indeed.

I can feel your pain, switched to Picnic though, never looked back.

I have even put cobblestones in the garden now for nostalgic reasons. (Basaltkeien)

As long as they’re hot they shouldn’t pop. The fizzing over should only happen when it’s cold.

With cans you tap on the top a few times before opening them so that the fizz doesn't come bursting out. Is there a similar trick for bottles?
