If you like printed bottles, what if a bunch of us sent you printed bottles from our local bike shops?

Water Bottles..........advice please
To disable ads, please log-in.
Ages ago I bought a brilliant water bottle off ebay.usa, with Colorado Springs Bike Shop written on it. I just love anything from the USA.
Unfortunately, it has now seen better days, so any advice what type, or make to go for, pros and cons etc.
Cheers.

I suppose you're going to send her the recycled cycles bottle.
That's a good idea, actually.

And Free Range Cycles with the bike-riding chicken on it.
Any other cool (not Greggs) bike shop bottles I should look out for, Mimi?"If Americans want to live the American Dream, they should go to Denmark." - Richard Wilkinson

Can't think of any off hand. A local bike club had some made (SIR) and they had mount rainier on them. they were gorgeous. Raleighdon only got one and they were a limited batch. I wish i'd gotten some of those for gifts like this.
(and he already gave his away!!)

The next time I go to a local bike shop, I'll pick you up a bottle. There's a new shop in DC---The Bike Rack--that has a very classy logo on its bottles, so this is a good excuse for me to make a return visit sometime soon. PM me your address.

Chicken on a Bike?
Is this an actual bike shop or something on your side of the mountains? Chicken on a bike? Sounds like something I must have! Originally Posted by KnottedYet

I think they have matching socks for sale here on TE! But they're one of those "brown paper bag" items. Originally Posted by Suzi-Sue
