Despite its horrible name the Niner<\/a> YAWYD (You Are What You Drink) seems like a pretty nifty device. It is a replacement top cap for one’s bike which allows a bottle cap to be snapped into place. Yes, I will freely admit that it’s a hokey way of meeting both the good beer and mountain biking cross marketing cross section which I seem to fall in. That said, it does strike me as a bit more interesting than some of the other decorative bike accessories available.<\/p>\n

Tonight I’m hoping to have a bottle of Dogfish Head’s 120 Minute IPA<\/a> and use the nice yellow dogfish exclamation mark cap on my bike. This cap can be seen in my photo of a glass and bottle of 120 Minute IPA here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This was purchased from Paint Creek Bicycles<\/a> in Lake Orion, MI<\/a> when Danielle and I headed up there today to see what they had on sale. There was a really nice looking (but red) Raleigh<\/a> XXIX fully rigid 29er single speed mountain bike<\/a> for $500 which I took for a few test rides but couldn’t bring myself to actually purchase. I need a new phone more.<\/p>\n

Anyway, once I get the aforementioned cap, or possibly another one fitted to the bike I’ll post more photos of it. In the mean time, here’s the ones I took of the Niner YAWTD and my bike today<\/a>:<\/p>\n
