Get some shocks for your basket 🤷‍♂️

Seems like the worst part is not too bad, all things considered. All you need is half an hour patience with the fizzy drinks ;) Have to say, hate cycling on the cobbles, but love the look of them in the cities! Also, cobbles generally force cars to slow down indeed.

If you shoot your finger against the side (like shooting away a cigarette bud) several times, then slowly rotate the bottle around it's axel while it's standing on a table several times, you can safely open them without them squirting all over the place. It truly works, also with shaken soda/beer cans.

What I do with these groceries is put them in a bag on my back or in my hand when cycling. The rack is for other stuff like veggies and other stuff that can handle the shaking or might get shitty when stuffed in a bag.

But you have a nice rack on your bike. Although it looks hard to take anyone on the back, unless they stand upright.

Maybe you should put something to dampen that. Like bubble wrap, newspapers, stuffed animals?

So where's the problem?

I can feel your pain, switched to Picnic though, never looked back.

I have even put cobblestones in the garden now for nostalgic reasons. (Basaltkeien)

As long as they’re hot they shouldn’t pop. The fizzing over should only happen when it’s cold.

With cans you tap on the top a few times before opening them so that the fizz doesn't come bursting out. Is there a similar trick for bottles?
