Let’s Welcome “Water Bottle Wednesday”

What’s the most important part of your bike ride? A sweet carbon frame? Supple tires? Your helmet?

The jury is out on the most important part, but one of the most important accessories for almost all cyclists is the water bottle. It allows us to carry water and therefore, stay hydrated.

It’s so simple and convenient yet often ignored.

I’ll admit, I take my water bottles for granted sometimes. But when I drop one on the road or if one shakes out on a rough section of singletrack without me knowing, I sure miss it!

That’s why every Wednesday (starting next week) I’ll have a post dedicated to a certain water bottle or story involving the glorious “water bottle.”

Also, since I might not have enough water bottles and stories to fill the spot every single week, I’m inviting submissions. If you have a water bottle you love or a great story behind one, send in the story along with a pic of the bottle if possible, and I just might publish it!

If you are a company looking for promotion of your specialty water bottle or just a regular water bottle with your logo on it, send it in, too. I’ll feature it in this column, and hey, I can never have too many water bottles!

Stay tuned!
