I love multi-tasking. I’m also drawn to the impractical but eye-catching – especially concerning bikes. Well, Philipp Drexler’s Bikefast fits that bill perfectly. It’s an on-the-go food tray that clamps onto your bicycle’s handlebars.
An awkwardly translated poem/product description from Produktdesign:
Overslept?
Sometimes I do. Now you got to be fast. Dressing, brushing teeth, packing your stuff and
go.
Barking stomach, what about breakfast?
Not with me! I’ve got a bikefast!
Jump on your bike and put your breakfast on the tray. Enjoy your meal and don’t be
afraid, because the cup fits into the tray and the edges provides your food, falling down.
While I’m sure our “slow” fans (Slow Food, Slow Cities, and Slow Travel) would find the behavior of dining while riding appalling, the Bikefast looks like a fun piece of hardware. And, if you’re smart enough not to contribute to urban sprawl and to live and work close together, you can munch your toast and jam and sip your coffee as you leisurely spin to the office rather than cramming your donuts / frappuccinos as you sit in traffic.
