Water bottles

Thank you KnottedYet!

I have not seen those at my local bike shop, but will keep an eye open for them and maybe order them online...

Another vote for the Soma non-bisphenol-A bottles!!

Part of my graduate work focused on bisphenol A, I never expected to hear those words anywhere else.
My husband is very picky about what he drinks out of and I've been wondering if there is any way to find him something non-plastic. I looked at some aluminum water bottles for hikers, but they have screw tops, possible but tricky on a bike. He needs a glass water bottle that has some kind of plastic lid with a straw, I guess!

Sigg makes ones with traditional bike bottle tops. I bought two from Steep and Cheap last week. I don't like them for biking however, because I like to squeeze the bottle and have that nice stream of water come out. That doesn't work with aluminum. You basically have to suck the water out of the bottle.

I wouldn't want to drink out of aluminum, either. If you don't mind other metal, the SOMA Commuter's Coffee Mug is stainless inside. The lid is plastic, unfortunately, but it is designed to be drinkable on-bike.

For glass, you could get a glass bottle like this Lipton Iced Tea with dimensions that would fit well into a bike bottle cage. Punch a hole in the lid and stick a long straw down to the base of the jar. It wouldn't be completely leakproof, but I think it would work.
