Are you thick? Two bottles IS NOT ENOUGH!!!!!!!
And people use frame bags to carry water because it is a good place to carry it. Why the fark would I care about why other people might be doing it??? All that matters is what is going work for me.
The thing I have "misunderstood" is that this was a place to come for advice. It seems to be place where people come to be told what to do and be told they are "wrong" by a bunch of cretins.
You've been told time and time again what the solution everyone else uses is, what more do you want? I and others suggested some other solutions but the simplest would just be to refill bottles like everyone else who rides a bike in the UK.
People gave you advice from their own experience and you don't want to do it, the only reason the ribbing escalated was because you started shouting and swearing when people poked a bit of fun. Surely a person of your experience should know when to respond and when to let it go...?
No they didn't, they come on to tell me what to do and to castigate for not doing what they want me to do. I've said multiple times why I want to do it the way I want to do it, and no one is the slightest bit interested in respecting my decisions.
You asked for a solution, they gave you one, you said you didn't want to do it then got angry when people asked why. If you want a solution you can't start swearing when people give you the solution which works best for everyone else but doesn't fit with you. There are a few other options as highlighted in the thread but they are all not as good as just filling up your bottles like everyone else. It is frankly farcical that anyone will steal them off your bike and the lack of available water, hence the mickey taking0 -

No what is "embarrassing" is a bunch of so-called adults (assuming that is what you are, because at this point I am not entirely sure), acting like a bunch of bullies in the school playground.0 -

Classic thread. Definitely passing the time before the tour starts.
I'd say a few additional straps to stop the frame bag wobbling or to pinch the sides in where it is next to the legs will stop it rubbing and wobbling.
Failing that, do what everyone else does and bring a couple of bidons, buy a big bottle of water at a petrol station/shop for less than a quid and refill from that (or find a tap somewhere/ask nicely).
I rode London to Edinburgh during the roasting hot mayday weekend with 2x500ml bottles, which I then supplemented with a small bottle in my jersey pocket. It was fine. I'd have liked to have had more, but my frame bags were already full of clothing and other essentials for the trip.
I don't think I had to pay for water once, stopped at plenty of public toilets to refill though - haven't died yet.0 -

Nice twisting of the facts there.
And the whole idea that anyone can leave easily removable items just laying about in the street and they won't get touched is absurd. You're either naive or stupid. Which is it?0 -

Well clearly we differ on what the facts are or you wouldn't have spent a million pages swearing at everyone.
How many times have yours or anyone else's bottles ever been stolen? It's completely ridiculous! I am neither stupid nor niaive, I have experience with using bottles which you don't. They have never been stolen, and that is the experience of everyone else who has ever ridden a bike. I can't really spell it out any more clearly.
If you want sensible answers don't call people stupid or naive, that's usually a good start.0 -

To be fair, if you leave your bike on the train they can get stolen, I've had this happen to me (on the way to the start of an 8 day tour
) but you can take the bottles out of their cage and carry them with you. ~~~~~~Sustrans - Join the Movement~~~~~~0 -
