I can drink while riding but sometimes have to look down to make sure I'm putting the bottle back into the cage and not dropping it on the ground.
All I keep in my back pockets is Hammer Gel or GU. I've tried tearing open a gel packet while riding but always have to stop to gulp the gel.
I'll get it right some day.
