You put regular water bottles in you cages? I've done that in emergencies, but they don't seem to hold nearly as well as bike bottles.

This spring, I was taking my bike out to a lot of wonderful places, usually twice a week (Saturday and Sunday). I'd spend as much as ten hours a week in the car to make this happen. I didn't wash my bottles out as often as I should have, and they started to develop a stench. I felt pressed for time, and didn't want to deal with it, so I just used regular ones instead. They don't stay put quite as well, but I'm doing solo rides, so it's not like I'm going to crash anybody if they come out (which they haven't). It just looks Fredly.

I wasn't thinking of crashing someone else as much as crashing yourself. I had one bounce out when going down a hill -- went right under my rear wheel. No crash, but it as definitely a code brown emergency.

3) they're jsut not necessary. Learn to stand the bike on a curb by the pedal, lean it against the wall. or jsut lay it down opposite the deraiilleur side.

This is what I do if I can't a wall to lean the bike against. If you find that the bike is not stable, shift into the highest gear and it will help.
