The Road Popper is a bike-mounted bottle opener($40) that fitting onto your bike saddle.
"We designed it to fasten discreetly to the rails on the underside of the saddle to help keep your bike looking crisp. So far, it's worked on all the bottle caps we've tried it on. Material options are bronze infused stainless steel. Finish options are plain (on the right in the photograph), matte gold, glossy gold, matte antique bronze, and glossy antique bronze. "

    You can get flip flops with bottle openers in the soles too....
    That disturbs me though, as what happens if you accidentally step in a dog poo and don't notice then try and open your bottle of beer???...........grim

    My heckler has a bottle opener built into the rear drop out.

    Balls to using it though, it'll scratch the finish.

    I was able to use the headtube gusset on my old Steelhead for opening beer bottles. That came in handy quite a few times.

    My Etnies belt has an opener on the buckle (useful) and my snowboard bindings have them on each of the ankle strap ratchets (useless).

    That is pretty cool!

    Like many others here, I have a bottle opened on my belt buckle. It's an Animal belt here though.
    I also have one on my keyring.
    And one in my camelbak.

    Did I mention the doctor told me to stop drinking a few years ago because my kidneys and liver were packing in? :shock:

    Why not just wedge the end of your multitool/puncture kit under the cap and give it a whack?

    I can't even remember what's on mine. I know the one on my day to day keyring is just an "MBUK" one.

    Oh, I also have an ancient MBUK velcro watchstrap. I hardly ever wear a watch. But, that velcro strap is still on it :lol:

    I don't know what you're talking about, but I'm guessing it's some kind of device for making male shrinkage after being in the cold sea less of an issue ?
