Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Bottles with caps

Can anyone recommend good bottles with caps? It's been raining and wet, a lot of crap gets sprayed on the spout.

Thanks.

That's why I often use a Camelbak.

How can you unscrew the cap while riding though?

Flip-top caps. I've seen them, just can't remember where.

That's it, and like the Zefal flip top (just found it). But I'm interested in getting something else. The Orbea bottles look good, but I can't find them anywhere.

I use a Powerade bottle. The cap has a flip flap. Keep an intact one for dusty, muddy rides and another with the flap cut off for better days.
