f you thought the handlebar-mounted cup holder was a bad idea, then you’re going to hate the Beltclip, a $5 cup-holder which mounts on your belt. Yes, this plastic bracket will precariously hold scalding coffee mere inches from the exact place on your body on which you don’t want to spill a boiling beverage.
Now, it’s not all bad. If the idea of a flimsy paper cup shaking on your hip terrifies you (and it should) then consider some alternative uses. Carrying a bottle of mineral water on a hike through the city would be a practical if dorky idea. And keeping a can of your favorite beer at your waist whilst speeding through downtown traffic on a brakeless fixed-gear bike is clearly a fantastic idea.
To this end, the Beltclip comes with a koozie included in the price. For those who don’t know what a koozie is (including me, up until Wikipedia told me a moment ago), it is an insulating cover for canned-drinks, usually fashioned from neoprene. Australians will know it as a “stubby-holder”, a much better name. It will keep the PBR cool and also stop it slipping from your belt and being crushed under an onrushing automobile.
So, if you can’t go anywhere without having a weak and watery bucket of Starbucks at your side, or if suicide-by-drunken-cycling is your game, head over to Drinkclip and grab one of the multi-colored holders.
