I have been given a campaign to run 2 mobile vans that will setup into little coffee stores.
We will be handing out FREE coffee.

So my question to you is besides at cycling related events, where else would you like to see us
to get a free coffee?

On my list I have the following:

Gyms
Shopping Centres
Big stores like Makro & Builders etc
Certain Sporting Events


But are there any ideas that come to mind? I need to hand out roughly 2000 coffee's a day per van.
Van's can go to 3/4 venues a day.

Your input is much appreciated.
Who needs 2 wheels when you can have 3???

Pity u not in CT
U could park at tokai and give out coffee :)
Encumbered forever by desire and ambition
There's a hunger still unsatisfied
Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon
Though down this road we've been so many times

BUSY intersections - maybe something like the intersection of Duxberry and the TUKS entrance - LOT of foot traffic in the mornings there :)
When I open my mouth (especially on forums) It's either with tongue in cheek, or to change feet :)

Outside my office door
The truth hurts, maybe not as much as sitting on a bicycle without a seat, but it still hurts.

Outside my front gate as well wouldn't mind driving to work each day with a nice hot cup of free coffee

As said in another post, maybe in cradle with all the cycling traffic LOL

Serious note, maybe on one of these big derby games (rugby) affies against Grey. Or at Loftus

Problem with Gautrain is that you are not allowed to eat/drink/chew gum etc. on the train, hence not a lot of garbage bins around.. I wouldn't mind a cup getting off the train though... say outside Sandton station, would be nice walking to work with a cuppa.
I want to ride my bicycle.

Outside a busy hospital?
Out of the night that covers me,Black as the pit from pole to pole,I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul.In the fell clutch of circumstance, I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance.My head is bloody, but unbowed.Beyond this place of wrath and tearsLooms but the Horror of the shade,And yet the menace of the years,Finds and shall find me unafraid.It matters not how strait the gate,How charged with punishments the scroll,I am the master of my fate:I am the captain of my soul.

+1 Outside Sandton would be killer! Loads of people get off there.

your question does not have enough info ... you need to give information on the people / business interests who are sponsoring the coffee and find out what their target market is and what other markets they would like to access ....
