Springtime means lots of outings on the bike here. Most of them requiring stopping for drinks now and then. I think I may need that underseat flask contraption.
I like that case rack that mounts on the back fender.![]()
On a real ride, hydration + electrolytes trump alcohol.
Yeah, I'm not a real bicyclist or anything, I just like to park my car on evenings and weekends and use the bike to tool around town, run errands, bar hop and that sort of thing, maybe an occasional trail on the weekends. Probably seldom go more than 20-25 miles in a trip. Even in the hottest parts of summer, no real hydration required, a beer at the next stop usually suffices.

Always have a couple 'o few big bottles of water and usually a gatorade mixed up for most any ride. Another reason my bike weighs a ton!
Plus, your neighborhood is not devoid of hills.....
Mine weighs a ton because it's made out of STEEL. And it has a rear rack built with REBAR for a stabilizer![]()
It's weird, after meeting a forum member , when reading their posts, I now read hearing the members voice, and before , hearing in a tone and inflection I've applied to them....hmmm......
