Cycling Water Bottle Cages
It is very important that you stay hydrated when cycling especially in the harsh Australian sun. To cycle and carry a water bottle, you need a bottle cage.
A bottle cage is an accessory that allows you to mount your water bottle to your bicycle. Bottle Cages are manufactured from a wide range of materials like plastic, aluminum, stainless steel, titanium and carbon fiber. Aluminum and carbon bottle cages are the most common and brands like Elite produce a wide range of styles and colours to match your bicycle and your budget.
Modern bicycles have threaded holes in the main frame to hold the bottle cage. They are often called braze ons. They might be welded, glued, riveted, or moulded into the frame material. Older bicycles, kids bikes and some less expensive bikes may not have this feature; to cater for this there are bottle cages with special clamps that enable them to be mounted to the handlebars or behind the seat.
Bike water bottles are designed specifically for cyclists. They are made so the rider can easily remove them from the bottle cage while riding along. However, if you are new to cycling, I highly recommend you practise this before trying it on the open roads. Perhaps find a quiet street or park and practise a couple of times, but if you are not too confident on your bike just yet, it might be a better idea for you to pull over and have a drink; the minute it takes for you to do this, is better than wandering into a cars path or knocking someone over on a bike path!
