r3coffeeharness1 Will it Spill?

I know you, upon seeing all my pics of my cargo/baby bike Ye Blacke Death, have wondered if it would be possible to transport two coffees in that front rack. My duty to you, dear reader, was to perform the experiment. For, you know, SCIENCE.

Cargo net across the mid section, coffees secured in a tray, though the tray is loose in the cargo rack area, and then coffees are inserted through holes in the net.

I’m happy to report that despite the Northern California uneven road conditions, of which we are occasionally helpfully warned about by third parties, due to my judicious balancing, top body not moving and rhythmicity doing, the coffees… were still… standing!
