Pro  6011   Camp Hill, Pennsylvania |  Subject: Bike Bottle Storage IdeaMy wife got fed up with my ever-growing bike bottle collection, and how it was taking over our pantry. I've got to admit it was getting a little out of hand. Today, she called me excited about something she found on sale at Boscov's for only $5.99. It's an over-the-door shoe organizer. Problem solved, and doghouse avoided!

Extreme Veteran 909 Westchester, NY | Subject: RE: Bike Bottle Storage Idea That's it ? That's all you have ? I just started throwing them out at races. For HIM, I don't bring the bike bottles back. It's kinda fun just throwing them off as I near home. For oly and sprint I just use the aero bottle up front. I went from 30-ish bottles to 8. I take new ones at races only if I can dispose of one somehow. |

Regular 606 Portland, Oregon | Subject: RE: Bike Bottle Storage Idea That is excellent. One question: Why are some bottles un-capped? |

Pro 6011 Camp Hill, Pennsylvania | Subject: RE: Bike Bottle Storage Idea Originally posted by dfroelich That is excellent. One question: Why are some bottles un-capped? Because they just came out of the dishwasher, and are still a little damp inside. Letting them dry completely before replacing the cap helps keep them from getting funky.

I'm still trying to understand why so many? I only have a few, and each one has a purpose. A lot more purposes, perhaps? |

Pro 6011 Camp Hill, Pennsylvania | Subject: RE: Bike Bottle Storage Idea Originally posted by brigby1 I only use a bottle one time before washing it. Sometimes it's a few days between running the dishwasher. Consider that, plus I use them for water at work, I have a tendency to forget to bring them home from work, plus 2-3 at a time for long rides, and that my wife uses them for the gym, and it's easy to see that it's rare for us to have this many in the house and clean at one time.Originally posted by TriMyBest Originally posted by GreenMtnLabbit Nice idea!

Champion 8766 Evergreen, Colorado | Subject: RE: Bike Bottle Storage Idea Mine are all just standing up in a milk crate. Truth be told I really only use two at a time. I use those two until they die (or are near dead and get tossed during a race) then I move on to new ones. I probably use my bottles long past their useful life span though.... |
