Here's the deal: Getting to work under your own steam is pretty awesome, however when the weather starts to turn to crap, sometimes it can be a little, well, challenging to come up with the strength to strap on your shoes or straddle your bike, squint into the driving rain, and slog your way on in.
The WITH(e)R CUP is your motivation - that little pin in the bum - on those gross days when it's cold or wet - or worse, snowing, GASP! - to bike, run, or walk to work.
