    Coca Cola is a drink for American children designed to ensure that they each weigh 300 kg by the time they are an adult. If you put a Coke bidon on a bike you might as well fill the back pockets of your jersey with chips and chocolate hobnobs, buy a ridiculous looking Harley and apply for membership of the NRA. You will be a bad person.
    The calorie, carb and caffeine content in a Coke (nice alliteration) are similar to drinking High5+

    I personally wouldn't do it but it's hardly an evil drink.

    I think the small ones look silly, like you couldn't be bothered to get a proper sized bottle.

    Two 750ml for me on a long ride, with tools in the jersey.
    One 750ml on short rides, with tools and emergency food in another 750ml.

    That can't be right, HIGH5 are a sports nutrition company, and sport is good for you. They wouldn't dream of using unscrupulous marketing marketing to fool people!
    I've just checked and pretty much the same is true of a pint of Strongbow. And that's made from apples, therefore healthy. Gotta get your 5-a-day.

    I forgot to take any fluid on a ride recently, so I called into a shop and bought a bottle. Now I have a ladies bottle 750ml bottle (Giant Liv) that matches neither my sex, any of my bikes or any other bottles I own.

    Drinking from it feels so wrong it must be right!
    I used to just ride my bike to work but now I find myself going out looking for bigger and bigger hills.

    True enough! :D I wonder if we could replace both with a chocolate hobnob smoothie?

    Transbidonism is now a perfectly acceptable lifestyle choice, and I applaud your courage in sharing your experience on this forum.

    Apart from that, the 710ml Camelbak Podium is, of course, the only bottle worth buying.

    Because people who actually ride bikes don't spend their time on the internet bickering about petty aspects of bike aesthetics. ;)

    Look at the training bikes of top amateurs and some pros and you may well see tatty frames, road muck, frame mounted pumps, all manner of bottles... I like the way that the tarts are consistent, however, in that they don't mount their big ugly selves on their bikes either, nor get them dirty by taking them outside. :lol:
