and it's a great idea to support TE because they give us this forum.

There are other solutions for your dress problem, including little bags that attach to the bike and camel baks

Camel baks are little back packs that act like a water bottle. I have one, and it is big enough to carry spare gloves, my jacket, and some snacks.
They cost about 25-50 dollars depending on which you get, but it's one of the better investments i've ever made on bike stuff.

I hate water bottles, they are a hassle to reach, they leak, they fall...

I live in the Pacific NW and on a ride we might go from 40 something degrees to 70 something, and rain/ and/ or not so I end up with an entire wardrobe for any one ride.. (drives me crazy)
