Cycling is an aerobic activity that requires hydration, but it can be
time-consuming for the rider to stop every so often for a drink.
Hydration packs enable hands-free delivery of fluids while the rider is
cycling. Water or other refreshment is stored in a back or waist
pack containing a bladder. Connected to this pack is a tube with
a bite-valve on the end. This setup enables the rider to receive
hydration by biting on the end of the tube. Both mountain bikers
and casual cyclists use these convenient backpacks or waist packs to
comfortably carry water, food, tools, and other gear.
In addition to hydration packs, virtually all bicycles can be fitted with a frame-mounted cage for carrying a water bottle. Many times these are conveniently located so that the rider can reach down and retrieve the bottle without needing to stop. Lightweight water bottles, carried in frame-mounted cages, are a popular source of drinking water on the road for touring and racing cyclists.
You can browse and shop for a good selection of cycling hydration packs and water bottles at eBay.
