Electric bicycle, road bike or mountain bike, for walks or green mobility, for amateur or professional cycling races... The practice of two-wheelers requires the right equipment. After the choice of the bike itself and the helmet, it is often a question of the water bottle to take with you to quench your thirst.

Insulated cycling water bottle: the importance of good hydration during sport

Proper hydration is important to compensate for the body's daily losses and to stay healthy. This is all the more true when the body is under stress. Cyclists must pay particular attention to their equipment and their clothing, but they must also ensure that they meet their water needs to sustain their sporting performance over time.

The bottle cage installed under the frame is intended to transport your drinks in a bicycle bottle. So it is possible to grab it to drink while driving. One hand for the handlebars, another for the water bottle.

Rather than bringing a single-use, harmful and polluting plastic bottle, opt for a reusable, healthy and ecological bottle. Bike rides, whether for country walks or soft mobility in town, are more often synonymous with eco-responsibility than pollution. Similarly, if you practice cycling as part of a sports club, repeating your training sessions can quickly make the price of an insulated bike bottle profitable.

How to choose your bike water bottle?

The capacity

This is an important criterion when it comes to buying a bicycle water bottle. The capacity of the insulated bottle determines the duration of water autonomy. For a short outing, a 500ml bottle may suffice. For an average ride, the 750 ml format is perfectly suited. Be careful to measure your bottle holder correctly!

Manufacturing materials

Reusable plastic water bottles are very common in the world of cycling. They are lightweight and inexpensive. However, plastic bicycle water bottles have a limited lifespan. They are not very ecological and can contain toxic substances which migrate into the drinks. It is also common for unpleasant plastic odors to persist even after several washes. In reality, these plastic containers degrade easily under the effect of heat.

Aluminum models seem to be a good alternative. These bottles are light and strong. However, they are manufactured with an internal coating to prevent the transfer of aluminum particles into the drinks. However, this inner layer can diffuse phthalates, Bisphenol A and other endocrine disruptors. In addition, the aluminum bottle does not keep drinks at temperature. This lack of thermal insulation creates condensation on the walls which become slippery.

The stainless steel bike bottle is therefore at the right time to meet the different needs of cyclists. It is light and unbreakable, healthy and durable, guaranteed free of BPA, BPS and other substances harmful to the body. 18/8 food grade stainless steel does not transfer odor or flavor into liquids. It is completely hygienic, corrosion resistant and 100% recyclable. The stainless steel bicycle bottle is the perfect companion on the road.

The ability to keep hot or cold

It's so nice to go pedaling on a beautiful sunny day. But when it's time to take a break to hydrate, what a disappointment to find that the water is hot! Don't worry, it's not inevitable. The insulated bike bottle does exist.

It is enough to choose a reusable bottle designed according to the principle of double wall. These two parts separated by an air gap keep your drinks cool for up to 24 hours. And for fans of winter outings, the insulated bottle also preserves heat for 16 hours.

Before making your choice on an insulated bike bottle , also pay attention to the neck. The wider it is, the easier the bottle is to fill, with the possibility of adding a few ice cubes before departure. Finally, opt for models with interchangeable caps. If the clip opening cap is appreciated for drinking with one hand, a classic screw cap prevents leaks for the reserve bottle during long outings.
