Great for when you don't need a hand on the handlebars. It would be good to rehydrate when stopped, but not mid-ride, I think. Thank you, though!
Velo, this still may not be an acceptable solution, but I frequently carry 2 water pouches in addition to my regular water bottle. I've also been known to pour the water from the pouch into my empty water bottle so that I can access it more easily while I'm riding.
