You mean the hard core roadies who never acknowledge that there's a fellow roadies on the road ? as you're saying HI !. Screw them and what they think (I have a pair of black socks that say "Your bike sucks !.
I started using the very firsts C-Baks when I spent my summers in New Mexico. There was no good way to keep liquids cold and the stores/gas stations were sometimes far and few between. My original C-Bak with the black neoprene and the thin straps would keep my drink cold for 2 hrs. I don't use it as much here back east (except when mt. biking) as there are plenty of pit stops, except on very hot days.
