What's your beverage of choice ... while commuting?
I know that it's still February and after doing some Computer Based Safety Training on Heat Stroke and dehydration. I got to thinking what do you drink while commuting in the heat?

Water.

Coffee... :)

And water.

H2O, then tea when I'm off the bike.
|
Black Tea and water.
|
Water for me too

Beer....oh....while commuting? Then water. I'll use a "sports drink" if I'm doing a distance event, but for my round trip of 34 miles, just water. Most sports drinks have added sugar and sodium to keep your electrolytes balanced, I prefer to eat pretzels as a snack which tends to solve both the salt thing and the "I like crunchy snacks" thing.

I steer clear of "sports" drinks, just water for me when I'm on the bike. When I stop, I'll drink juice, or whatever else healthy I can get.

H2o

Flavored carbonated water (Polar brand around here). I find it more refreshing than plain water, even when eventually warm and flat. The bottles however have screw caps to hold the pressure so I have to stop or ride slowly to unscrew. On long rides I eat real food for other nutrients.
For my winter commute I carry water just to see if it freezes, usually at less than 15 degrees for my 14 mile ride. |
Water only on all my rides.
The sports drinks don't sit all that well with me. On hot summer rides, however, I may pick up a Gator-ade at a stop and go. |
Green tea, Water, Powered Gatorade, Pepsi
|
dihydrogen monoxide, post-ride milk and whey protein.
|
On the bike, for commuting, training, or distance riding, I carry either water or tea. If I need a little pick-me-up, then I stop by a convenience store or other facility for a cold Coke.
|
coffee in the am, green tea coming home
|
I often mix a little juice or squeeze a bit of lemon or lime into my water. Not much. It can help hide the plastic flavor.
I did this as usual this past summer for when I cycled the bike portion of a triathlon. For some reason related to my effort, I guess, the water tasted disgustingly sweet, and I couldn't drink it. I don't understand what happened, and I never really compete. It was the first time I had competed in about 30 years. |
+1 on water with a little lime juice, also good for keeping the kidney stones at bay.
|
H2O. On really hot summer afternoons, I'll often have some coconut water when I get home.
|
water.
in fact water is the only non-alcoholic beverage i ever drink. juices, sodas, sports drinks and the like are all too sweet for me and i never got into the whole coffee thing for some reason. i think it's because i don't like warm beverages. give me water or give me beer or give me death! |
Scotch. Vodka or gin are stealthier, if that's a problem for you.
Seriously, though, just water. It's not like we have a shortage of salts in our diet. There's really no need to add more the way these sports drinks do. |
Water.
