Winter bidon
Comments

I’ve not used an insulated bottle for winter, but I presume that if you put slightly warm water in then it should stop it freezing.0
-
That's one of the pleasanter aspects of winter riding- chilled water 💧0
-
Stick it in your back pocket?0

Yep the podium chill, or Ice will do the job.Felt F70 05 (Turbo)

It's not exactly a Thermos but it does keep it a bit warmer than a standard single skin bottle. I add some warm/hot water depending on outside temps to help stop the water feeling so cold much further into a ride.0
-
If the ride is up to 90 minutes then I just fill the bottle with hot water / squash. Longer than that it's a saddlebag and proper thermos flask for me.0

Never tried warm/hot drink in my Podium Chills or my Podium Ice, will have to give it a try.================

Kinto travel tumblers. Can keep liquid hot for about 4-5 hours. Really worth the money.0

Neither have I.N0bodyOfTheGoat said:Never tried warm/hot drink in my Podium Chills or my Podium Ice, will have to give it a try.
Those Kinto tumblers look a good option though.0 -
Get yourself a Contigo insulated travel "mug". They do a few different ones- I have the Byron. They fit in a cage, and will keep liquids warm for a good few hours. I find after three hours in really cold conditions, the liquid is lukewarm towards the end, but actually the best temperature for supping. They do/ will lost any surface colour so best to go for a plain silver one.0

Bidon, ffs..0

I am absolutely amazed that there is a call for such an item.
I cycle in all weathers and temperatures and have never given a thought to my bidon other than taking it out of the fridge and sticking it on my bike at the start of my ride.
I suppose someone somewhere is as we speak inventing a thermos flask cage !!0 -
I wonder how many people go in to a bike shop and say “What sort of bidons have you got”.
Or at home do you get “ Will you stop leaving your bidons on the draining board”0 -

Personally, I don't have any bidons. I've got a cupboard full of BOTTLES though...0 -

Yes, take your point, I was just answering like for like as the op obviously uses the term bidon whereas like you I would call it a bottle.
Anyway I suppose it proves one thing, anything anyone posts on here there is always one person ready to have a pop and that person is usually you!

Imposter does have a point unless jimmycrates is French. Next thing folk will be asking for recommendations for thermal musettes, instead of wooly bonk bags.0

Tomorrow, I will ride by bicyclette, while wearing my casque and maybe some thermal gants, depending on the temperature. I won't be taking any bidons though...0

Presumably you have never bought a souvenir either.0 -
No he may have bought a memento instead.

So does souvenir but then in to French. Where as memento is Latin to Middle English.
Yes words cross languages but any one who uses Bidon instead of bottle and was born and bred in the UK is being a touch pretentious.0 -
Au contraire, you're being an agent provocateur. This doesn't give you carte blanche to behave this way. You are en route to a fait accompli. Anyway, vive la difference.womack said:webboo said:No he may have bought a memento instead.
Which comes from the Latin to remember.
Words cross over languages, it happens. I feel sure many English people use words from other languages day in day out without realising they are doing it.
I bid you adieu.0 -

Let's not get into a debate on the wider origins of the English language (although it actually appears to be too late for that).womack said:imposter2.0 said:Tomorrow, I will ride by bicyclette, while wearing my casque and maybe some thermal gants, depending on the temperature.

Using 'bidon' when there is a perfectly acceptable and already widely-used 'English' alternative just seems to be an unnecessary affectation, IMO. Anyway, carry on...0 -
I was thinking may be justifiable if typing on a phone as it uses fewer letters than 'water bottle'. But with auto complete you could probably get both of those words with fewer keys, or just use 'bottle' of course. So it falls under pointless affectation for me.imposter2.0 said:

But chapeau to Masjer for this:masjer said:
