Nowadays, most of people's consumption of coffee still stays in the consumption of the environment. There is no shortage of industrial style coffee shops smashed out by hundreds of thousands in every city.

Today's introduction of this coffee shop is different, there is no decoration problem, because this coffee shop is mobile, a day back and forth more than 40 kilometers. The coffee shop and its director also appeared in the CCTV documentary "the World is interesting".

Liu Yunping, the director, formed a bond with coffee on a rainy night in 2003, and since then it has been as deep as a sea of coffee. First, the venture opened two coffee shops, but due to poor management, both coffee shops closed down after five years of operation in 2010.

According to the Fuzhou Evening News, Liu Yunping originally engaged in lacquer painting, but he quit his lacquer painting job and returned to his hometown due to an accident at home. Later, he came up with the idea of combining a cafe with a lacquer painting studio. Due to the need to invest too much money, he had the bold idea of selling coffee by bike. "Bicycle Coffee" was opened quietly at the end of April 2018.

The name found in Dianping's APP is "Bicycle Coffee", while the paper cups and bottles used by the director are printed with "SCENIC COFFEE scenery Coffee" with WeChat accounts taken care of by the manager.

Every day, the manager will bring four or five beans and a few liters of water to ride from Qishan on the outskirts of Fuzhou to Yantai Mountain more than 20 kilometers away, close the stall at 6 p.m., and ride more than 40 kilometers every day.

According to netizens, the mobile bicycle coffee shop often haunts near Yantai Mountain Park at No. 2 Aiguo Road in Fuzhou. The coffee shop has no exquisite decoration, no pleasant music, only the back seat of the bike as a workbench for making coffee, and meticulous baristas.

Even in the smallest coffee stand, there are many tools on the workbench, including electronic scales, hand pots, thermometers, filter cups, filter paper, sharing pots and hand bean grinders.

The menu is still divided into hand-made series and cold extract series, not counting the types of coffee beans, a total of six choices. According to the Fuzhou Evening News, bicycle coffee shops must have coffee beans from Ethiopia and Yunnan, and the coffee beans are baked by the master himself at home.

The master is forty years old, but he still forges ahead for what he loves. According to a report by the Fuzhou Evening News in 2019, when the manager planned to sell coffee by bike in 2018, he also focused on his family's plan to build a coffee farm.

Twenty one-to three-year-old coffee seedlings were purchased from Yunnan and planted in Qishan. In addition, seeds were bought to raise seedlings.

After the story of the manager moving the coffee shop to the bike was filmed as a documentary by CCTV, more and more people with ideals of coffee also followed in their familiar urban roads to open their own mobile coffee shops. Although the dream is beautiful, you should also have feelings, but you should also act according to your ability. after all, not everyone has the courage to start all over again.

Bicycle (foraging) coffee is very inspirational, find a direction, as long as the heart is strong enough, even if there are obstacles around you, you can still take off. This is precisely the proof that "where there is a will, there is a way."
