Yeah, I was shocked when I went water bottle shopping and sniffed the bottles at the stores after
opening the cap. HOrrid plastic odor on ALL I found even absurdly expensive ones. Well, all of them are overpriced for what one gets, IMO.

Anyway I came to the conclusion that I'd be an idiot, knowing what I know about plastics, to consider
using something that gassy as a potable water container. I ended up convincing myself I would be
wise to just use the plastic water bottles one can buy at any grocery/convience store. THose bottles are
made by companies that have to use 'safe' plastics. Safer by far then the crap bike shops and bike parts
vendors offer us. (least the ones I ran into so far)

I have two on my bike. A 16 ounce and 20 ounce. THe 20 ouncer is fitted with a adustable strap water
jug bracket I found at Wal-mart.

Yeah, I'm sure SOMEONE out there makes water bottles that are not gassy, smelly piles of crap but I figured why the hell should I pay crazy prices for something I can get for less than a buck at the local store and use over n over....
