In honor of the excellent new program, Portlandia, I present to you this special, sustainable, Vegan-grown, humane leather bike-mounted can cage, a mere $45 from Etsy.

The truly hilarious thing? This abortion is actually made in Portland, thus increasing the irony.

Bring a can of soda (or beer, or juice) along for the ride. A flat can of Coke has been called the racing cyclist’s “secret weapon” – the quick jolt of sugar and caffeine is perfect to get you up the last few hills.

Rigid leather is hand-stitched together to be structurally sound. Cans stay snug in the can cage even after a rugged off road tour.

Designed to fit a standard can size, but can be custom-ordered to fit your favorite bottle size (just convo me).
