Is anyone planning to visit Aldi on the 8th May for any of their bargains. They are selling an ally bottle and cage for £2:99, but I am working on the night of the 7th, and as I am 30 miles from my nearest store I doubt there will be any left by the time I get there. It is the one thing missing from my bike. I could send you some cash up front plus postage. This will still be cheaper than I can buy one round here, and knowing Aldi, better quality. If you can help please reply. The email does work although it is predominately a junk mail repository. Thanks Bill

I had three of those Mike Dyason bottles for a fiver. Two of them the tops wouldn't screw on straight guaranteeing a severe wetting whenever I tried to drink from them. Not recommended.

Not recommended. I've used loads of them. They screw on straight if you fit carefully. They're better than many other cheapo bottles so I do recommend them. The teat of the tops (or whatever you call them) can leak a bit (different problem from above) but at least they can be undone and drunk from easily when on the move. A basic requirement for the thirsty cyclist! The bottle cages are strongly constructed but aren't particularly nice to use or look at. ~PB
