>>893480That's not my bike, just an example, but it's really good to have 2 bottle cages. You should drink 1 large bottle every hour (more in the heat). Sports drink (buy a big tub, not that expensive) is better than water because you'll get sugar which you burn off immediately and which really helps and electrolytes which you lose from sweating and which you need to stay hydrated. It's ok to have 1 bottle and refill with water, along the route, but sports drink is better. I like to mix it up a bit, ice tea in one bottle, or whatever. I've been drinking mostly just water, 1 bottle and refilling it, but we're just coming out of winter. In summer, just water is not really viable. Plus bottle cages are handy as fuck for carrying anything. I had some bbq pork buns stuffed in one today. Get a bottle cage dude. If you want 2, use hose clamps + an old tube to protect the frame.
