Do you use public drinking fountains?

[Irulan]

You know, this thread was definitely on my mind this morning when it rained on our club ride.

I DO know someone who got very sick from drinking water from a frame-mounted water bottle. You do know that if you ride through water, whatever's in that water is now on the valve of your water bottle ... reclaimed water in the suburbs, dogsh*t and automotive chemicals in the city, cow and pig manure and ag chemicals in the country. But I still drink from my water bottle, and so does everyone else I know.

Anyone here remember when Tinker Juarez ( famous mountain bike racer) got Gieardia from mud during race from it getting on his frame mounted water bottle?

I had this bottle with a cover, but I dropped it and the cover broke off. Thanks to this thread, I'm ordering a new one.
