HAHAHA. Reminded me of the first time I went for a (2) water bottle ride with the Sporty Quick Bike and MTB shorts.
Unknown to me, the combination of the Polar bottles rubberized pull valve flange, the height of the seat tube water bottle holder, and MTB shorts, Activated the HANDY DANDY water bottle AUTO-EJECT feature
.
The first two traffic controls (both of which were left turn lanes) where I had to *unclip and put a foot down* had the water bottle end up in the middle of the intersection when I accelerated thru the intersection on getting the light. After the second time this happened I finally Figured out that the cuff of the shorts on the leg that remained on the pedal while I was waiting for the light was snagging the pull valve and lifting the water bottle out of its holder as my leg returned to the top of the pedal stroke.
