Water Bottles..........advice please

OK, newby here, what is a SS exchange??

**mimitabby** · 08-01-2007, 01:47 PM

Secret sister

some kind person (the latest being Crazy Canuck) decides to do it.
Everyone PM's her (sends her private messages ) telling her that they want to play.

Then she sends them other people's addresses and we all send each other stuff.

Sounds like fun, great idea.

Sara, I have those bunny socks and they're my favorite pair. I left them in the drawer for an entire week once and now I have a second pair...

I like the bottle exchange idea for the next swap. I have been out of them for a bit but this would be a perfect way to jump back in!

I'm excited. I wanted to join the SS but didn't know how to it. I love the Bottle exchange idea. Maybe we could include a little treat inside the bottle (engergy bars, gels, something for biking). Count me in.

ClockworkOrange - PM me your addy, too, please. I am a very slow and disorganized person, but I'll send you a couple bottles if you want them.

What a lovely surprise, just received them, I have been poorly for the last 3 to 4 weeks, so this has put a big smile on my face.

I love the chicken on the first bottle

The second bottle I found out all about the shop on their website, really fascinating.

It's also good having one bottle slightly smaller, I can use that other times when I am not on my bike.

When I am able to get out, there will be something in the post for you, here's a clue.

Yes, my collection of US bottles are real cool.

Cheers Knotted

Hooray! I'm glad they arrived.

(I wasn't kidding when I said I was slooooooow and disorganized!)

I like the chicken on Free Range Cycles' bottle, too.

It lacks squeezability.

**KnottedYet** · 09-30-2007, 01:26 PM

The Soma poly-whatevers are squeezable and they don't leach phenols into your fluids.

gotta find the link...

edit: here's the link: http://www.somafab.com/bottle.html I have three of these bottles, and just love 'em. They don't grow cooties in them, either.

Elk, I love RiverCityBicycles. The top floor with all those bikes is a little overwhelming but very cool. I miss having a place to shop that has such a great selection of women's cycling clothing to try on. It's one of the places that I try to stop at when I'm in PDX.

**elk** · 09-30-2007, 02:58 PM

it lacks squeezability, but has very good suckage...

sgtiger...i got a good price and fit on my bike there....not sure i want them for my LBS though...too big, too busy....

Running Mommy you are a Star!!!

Received a PM, asking if I would like another bottle, could not resist saying "yes please".

Received this parcel, and oh my goodness, was I excited, just like a big kid.

The bottles are smashing, the one from the Interbike Show in Las Vegas, I will not use on my bike, it is too smart, so that is what I will use at work, just to show off. Love the bright colours (OK colors), on the Chile Pepper bottle. My calendar is lovely, my stickers will go on my car when I get it back from the garage. Super cool, the Poison Spider socks, they are so cute.

OMG...............then I discovered one, then two cars for my little Cally, plus Halloween pressies, sweets and pencil. I am now SUPERGRAN! I wanted to get a photo of him when I gave him the presents but I left it at home! I can't put into words how excited he was, of course, the cars you sent are not available over here. You really could not have chosen better cars, he loves cars with paintwork that have flames.

The 2008 calendar of Arizona will be put to good use, I am about to write all special dates and birthdays on it. Arizona looks a fabulous place.

Thank you so very much.

I'm so happy you like everything.
Putting together little packs of love is one of my favorite things to do.

And so glad that your grandson liked the cars. I tried to get "american" themed ones as much as possible.
I wasn't sure that you did halloween in England, so I didn't know if the frightful things would scare him.

Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!
