Any recommendations (fits in bottle cage)? So many out there that look about the right size but they don't specify the size. Prefer 20 oz+.

What's the purpose?

I use a pair of these on my backpack for my coffee in the morning. I brew two 20oz coffees (in Starbucks mugs) and they strap onto the side of my backpack. They've been good to me.

there was a cage made to carry those Stanley Steel double lined vacuum bottles..

Make a cup of coffee, put it in the thermos, put the thermos the bottle rack, go somewhere and drink it. Not necessarily drink it while riding. I could get by on something that doesn't fit in the bottle cage but would prefer one that did fit there.

I see lots of pictures of people and bikes but it doesn't say that it fits in a bottle cage. (This is surprisingly difficult.)

Take a bike water bottle cage into Walmart. Find an insulated travel mug that fits ??

I have a couple of stainless steel double wall containers, one a SubZero, the other a no-name. These are cheap and durable. The SubZero cost around five bucks, the no-name $4.

Both will fit the water bottle cage, but not well: the SubZero is a little too large in diameter; the other a bit too small.

Since neither will keep drinks cold or hot for very long without additional insulation, I keep 'em in the padded lens pouches on my Lowepro Off Trail camera waist bag, which serves double duty as a handlebar bag. I've just rigged up some carabiner snaps and paracord loops to quickly hook around the handlebar as safety leashes, and the main weight is supported by wrapping the waist belt around the handlebar and stem. Works fine with my bike's upright bar, but might be tricky with flat or drop bars.

Otherwise, you could buy some foam rubber cozies used for beer and soft drink cans to keep the stainless bottles hot/cold longer.

BTW, if you read customer reviews of these stainless bottles you'll see an unusual number of complaints about staining, mold, mildew, etc. Apparently some folks don't realize all containers for beverages and/or food must be properly cleaned between uses. I guess it just doesn't occur to some folks after they've drunk directly from a bottle and left their backwash behind that the bottle should be sanitized. Between uses I'll pour in boiling or very hot water and just a couple of drops of ordinary chlorine bleach. Recap, handle - carefully, of course - with oven mitts, and agitate the hot water/bleach solution. Dump, rinse, air dry, done. Sometimes I'll place the open containers and caps near a table fan to dry before recapping and putting them away.

Once, when I'd put the bottles away without following this routine, some mold and staining did develop inside. I used a bottle brush and some stainless steel cleanser, followed by the bleach/hot water routine. Cleaned it right up, no problems.

So the stainless bottles are actually easier to keep clean than plastic water bottles. I'm not sure my Polar insulated bottle could handle boiling water, although I use the same warm water and bleach treatment, along with drying under a fan between uses.

When I commuted by bike I used a Kleen Kanteen insulated bottle and a King Iris cage.

If you have a Japanese market/dept store in your area they usually have a whole assortment of really high quality stainless Vacuum bottles. Finding one cage size is a challenge though. I ended up going with one that is a little on the small size in diameter, but a bottle cozy makes it fit perfect and keeps it from rattling.

I've got a stainless steel insulated bottle made by Bubba Bottles that fits in a bottle cage and is great for keeping coffee hot. I probably bought mine on eBay, but if you Google it you can find their main website. I don't use mine much because I found that I don't generally like drinking hot liquids while cycling. Also, I only drink from it at red lights, and for some perverse reason I never get caught by red lights when I'm carrying my coffee thermos.

Wouldn't a thermos keep things cold as well as hot?

The only thermos I have that fits bottle cage is the 18 oz. 'bullet' by Liquid Solutions. It really keeps water hotm very useful on cold winter days.

The 16 oz. Contigo fits in my bottle cages ok, but they get a little scratched up.

I got a Topeak Modula Java bottle cage for Christmas last year, and it works well with some of my other coffee mugs.

FWIW I posted a question on the Amazon page for this and someone answered and said it fits in a water bottle cage nicely.

On my winter bike I use these Tacx Tao cages and this thermos for water and this thermos for coffee. I put a tube sock around the thermos so it doesn't rattle around in the cage. Works fine although I like the look of that Topeak Modula Java Bottle Cage.

This is what I use in my adjustable bottle cage I got for nearly nothing on ebay. I like Stanley stuff.

Do be careful drinking hot stuff while riding. I took some coffee in a Polar insulated bottle towards work one cold winter day. It was still scalding hot 20 minutes into the ride. :/

How about a bottle cage that fits just about any thermos? Loony Bin | Arundel Bicycle Company
