mug shootout
Posted: 12 Oct 2017, 5:31pm
how do we judge the best cycling organisation? Fastest tired, flashest bikes? No, best brew, that's how we judge, and to have a good brew you need a good mug . So here is the Cycling UK vs British Cycling great mug shoot out!
Front view....both say what they are but one has to say that BC does it with a bit more glamour and colour. CUK has the logo but lacks colour.
Rear view....BC carries on the design from the front, scoring points for continuity, but CUK throws in a 'querky' cartoon so you have some reading to do while quaffing your brew. It's not exactly an art-house hipster chic meme, but its cycling related.
Capacity...CUK wins out by a couple of ml.
Heat retention.....BC seems to have sides that are thicker by a few microns.
Drinking experience....if you've fat fingers you'll appreciate CUK's more roomy handle. Mouth-feel, there is little to choose between them.
Packaging....CUK came in robust polystyrene packing, BC arrived in a 'This girl can' bag.
Overall verdict.....it's a pigging mug...put brew in it and drink out of it (now, who can spot the point I'm making about magazine bike reviews, and my annoyance there with?)
