He had a white water bottle with a blue bike. Everyone knows you must match your water bottle to your bike.

Wait, if I get dog hair tangled up in my derailleur pulleys does that mean I shouldn't shave my legs?

gatorade is not a sports drink. it is meant for fat teenagers who think drinking it makes them look like cool athletes.

Was it this guy? If so, the new special forces detachment of the Fashion Police already handed out the proper citation.

Oh no, my bike is black and I can't find any black water bottles. What should I do? Is blue acceptable?

Man, I must be a sub-FRED then. I've got a super sexy and always clean and shiny Cervelo P2C - with a rear rack and watter bottles lined with no other than ghetto duct tape to prevent bottle ejections.

I rode a metric with a group in a double paceline a few years ago. My bike had a handlebar bag on it. In another few years, i think they'll let me come back..

Use clear bottles and licorice flavored sports drink. It is the only way.
"gatorade is not a sports drink. it is meant for fat teenagers who think drinking it makes them look like cool athletes."
And what would be the proper sports drink for us fat old men that want to look like cool athletes? Or else like bicyclists? (Actually, I really would like to know the drink of choice, as I wind up using Gatorade due to availability.)
