That sample seems rather skewed. It may depend on the type of rides you do. I don't think I've ever seen one on the fast Tuesday night ride. Perhaps one on a Saturday ride we do which is a bit more casual.

Yesterday's century, around 500 riders, I recall seeing one Camel Back, and I noticed it, because it stuck out.

I actually own a Camel Back, and will use it in the rare situation, but in my experience, their use on the road is far from prevalent.
