Subject: Bottle with straw for road bike?

I have a regular road bike, no aerobars. I really like those bottles with the straw that I have seen people mount on the front of their tribikes. Is it possible to put such a thing on a normal road bike? I am having a hard time getting comfortable, especially in group situations, taking my hand off the handlebars to grab a bottle and drink without dramatically slowing down or weaving around, and those bottles with a straw seem like they would be a lot easier.

You can jury rig it but these things are really designed for aerobars. May want to consider a camelbak for group rides.

A little pricey, but the Speedfill fits where a standard bottle cage fits on the downtube. I'm sure it would be no problem attaching the drinking tube to your road handlebars.
