how to: Make your own Vino cupholder

Reader Michael Adams sent me this photo of a drink holder he made for his Yamaha Vino 125 from a bicycle bottle cage.

“I sawed off the top of it, filed the edges, drilled out the hole bigger, and put felt on the back,” he explains.

“The product itself is a Bell Expand-a-Cage. It’s got an adjustable strap to allow it to hold everything from a Red Bull can to a large McDonalds cup. I believe it was around $5.”

He then mounted it using the existing legshield screw.

I’ve seen others mount bicycle bottle holders on their Vino 125s, but this is the first adjustable one that allows for multiple container sizes. Bell bicycle products can often be found at Walmart and other department stores, as well as sporting goods stores like Dicks Sporting Goods and cycling-specific stores.
