All you need to do is cut the ends off of your existing grips and then place them inside and voila! This is a great place to store money for cyclists who may not have any room in their spandex outfits. It is also able to store 5ml of liquid each, which does not sound like much, but if it’s alcohol you choose to place inside the little compartments, it’s probably a better idea to just get a bit of a refresher or just not to ride your bike anyway. The Handlebar Minibar is a quirky and fun hidden flask that will provide bike enthusiasts with lots of practical use. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 40% | Activity: 20% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) > [Transportation](https://www.trendhunter.com/transportation) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Hidden Flasks:** The trend of hidden flasks in everyday items like bike handles has the potential to disrupt the portable beverage market. - **Concealed Storage:** The trend of concealed storage in small spaces like bike handles has the potential to disrupt the traditional storage industry. - **Practical Biking Accessories:** The trend of practical biking accessories like the Handlebar Minibar has the potential to disrupt the traditional biking industry. ### Where This Applies - **Beverage:** The hidden flask trend has the potential to disrupt the portable beverage industry by offering unique and quirky ways to carry drinks. - **Storage:** The trend of concealed storage in small spaces like bike handles has the potential to disrupt the traditional storage industry by offering new and innovative storage solutions. - **Biking:** Practical biking accessories like the Handlebar Minibar have the potential to disrupt the traditional biking industry by offering unique and useful products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [App-Enabled Bike Handlebars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-handlebar.md) - [Handlebar Bike Gear Clips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gear-clip.md) - [Minimalist Metallic EDC Flasks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/corkcicle-cool-flask.md) - [Sleek Cyclist Water Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cyclist-water-bottle.md) - [Insulated Music-Playing Flasks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vssl-insulated-flask.md) - [Leakproof Adventurer Flasks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yeti-flask.md) - [Modular Cycling Multitools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-cycling-multitool.md) - [Capsule-Stored Cycling Multitools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/capsule-cycling-multitool.md) - [Miniaturized Cycling Multitools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miniaturized-cycling-multitool.md)
