I was riding my bike the other day, when I noticed a peculiar sound. Unacustomed to noises coming from my beautifully tuned classic machine it took me a while to work out what it was. Then I realised it was the sound of water sloshing about in the bottle! Perhaps for those men of steel on bikes of steel, with their lichen-like water requirements and massive hill gear ratios the additional pain of two bottles of sloshing water was too much to bare.
Loving the tales of back in the day btw.
