Note I didn't state that
every road cyclist doesn't like change, but I've been around the block a few times and it's pretty clear that stereotypically speaking, roadies resist change. Don't believe me? Do a search for "steal vs carbon" or "caliper vs disc brakes" if you want to read hours of pointless arguing.

Yes, for most of my rides, simple water bottles do the trick. I'm just probably over-analyzing a way to carry more water on a ride and am likely to be the 1 person that would try something like a Camelback Racebak... and like it.
