Yeah, it's a constant problem for cyclists in the apocalyptic no-go regions of the wasteland that is the western world - I mean, without that extra 500ml of water, who knows how many would be laying dead at the side of the trail?
Or are we more worried how this is going to affect our precious STRAVA numbers, all this extra stopping every few blocks? Sorry, I meant, "every other remote wasteland resources cache/depot".
Puhleese. This ain't the Iditarod Impossible.
So you can go the route of fancy, sometimes expensive, and often don't work (I see lots of reviews of water bottles getting dropped by these "side-loader" things)...
OR
get a shorter (smaller) bottle. It's not complicated. Make your choices, be happy.
