Thank you, Larry, those are really kind words! It would be a real honor to come riding with you. I am planning a trip to the US in November, but unfortunately, that's on the other side of the country.
Thank you, ak-tux and jond also. I can grab the bidon easily enough. Putting it back is a bit of a hassle, and I end up drinking too infrequently. Perhaps it would help a little to position it more upright. However, you can also see that I keep a bidon in the mesh pocket of my Banana Racers. That one is much easier to handle. But only when I actually take the Banana Racers with me, of course. For shorter rides, I think I would prefer under-the-seat bidon cages. Or maybe under the boom. I haven't tried that yet.
