We had a lot of fun this morning at the Grand Opening of the Bull City Urban Market. There were local vendors from a wide cross section of Durham’s local food, produce and hand made goods. We enjoyed setting up with Bread Uprising and Kukia’s Cookies!
We had a great time last night with all the local businesses and visitors at Home Made, Home Grown event at Fullsteam. We loved introducing everyone to our Day of the Dead Hot Chocolate, Raw Spiced Cacao Balls and Moctezuma Truffles!

We’ve had some fun setting up with our new friend Lindsay from Monuts Donuts! We thought is was too coincidental for us to both have trikes with a combo like coffee and donuts for us not to become friends. We’ll be out together on our trikes for some events soon!

A lot of people enjoyed the “Rumi” today. It was a Sumatra Aceh blended with some cup of excellence Rwanda, with some rose water and organic cardamom. Wis we could take a picture of how it tastes!
Today was a great day at the the DtownMARKET and Motorco Musichall!
We met a lot of nice, interesting, fascinating people today! A lot of interest in the bike and some expected learning of what to fix, upgrade, etc…for our bike and production.
We had a fun and great day and really appreciate all of your love for coffee. We did have an awesome menu of amazing coffees. We sweetened up the Moctezuma by the end of the day, kept the hot water protected more from the cold air, worked and talked and talked and worked and all in all it was a blast!
I re-experienced a really cool thing about the bike — you have to ride really slowly. To carry all the weight it’s geared low and you start slowly, stop slowly and ride slowly. This allows for an interesting new phenomenon for me: the 30 second ride-by-conversation with everyone from teen skater, homeless man advising about the continued length of the hill I am mounting, to young kids asking what the heck kind of contraption I am actually on (no not iced cream).
We installed our awesome sounding bell at the end of the day and look forward to problem solving the need for a bigger more powerful inverter in the next couple days. Somehow 1500 watts doesn’t equal 1500 watts, according to our inverter it’s over 3000. Huh? Until that’s worked out, we may be tied to buildings (oh no).
We also decided that most people realize that hand-pouring or clever brewing coffee by the cup takes a few minutes. Most enjoy the experience and conversation, but for those who don’t like to watch and wait, we think we’ll be introducing our very own card to call out when your order is ready thing. You’ll see.
We talked to The Parlour at the end of the day about heading Oval Park on Thursday eve. Hope we can get the power together by then to be a true mobile gig.
Thanks for everything today. Stay tuned. And if you have events, ideas, offices who do or will need us, shoot us an email at bikecoffeedrm@gmail.com or a private message at @bikeCOFFEEdrm.
