Yes... And your bike will go much faster... Because caffeine is a stimulant [8D]

Remember to use freeze-dried Taster's Choice that will dissolve in the gas, otherwise the coffee grounds could clog your petcock - unless you intendusing already brewed stuff. In that case, use Starbucks, it tastes like gas anyway...

I know race cars (Modified) use a cherry or grape smell in their gas. Can make you sick in the stands if it is a long race.

If your using coffee go for a dark roast & stay away from those girlie coffees like french vanilla or mint chocolate - that would just promote the girl bike thing.
