Bottle recommendation anyone?

Random said:

Can anyone recommend me a cheap bottle that does the
following 2 things :-

1) Doesn't make my water taste of plastic/rubber - Or
maybe I should drink something with a flavour to it to
hide the plastic aftertaste...

2) Has a cover over the cap so I don't end up with a
mouthful of mud after I've been through a few puddles!

The cheaper the better as money is an issue - I've
searched the usual sites but they mainly have normal
bottles (which I assume may taste of plastic?) or really
expensive ones with titanium holders..

Is there such a thing as a plastic bottle which is
"inert"?

Thanks for any advice

There are cheap Alloy ones in Lidl, they're not anodised
but you can get a drink out of them, they do have a cap to
stop you getting gobs full of mud, they don't taste and
they're only £2.

Lidl?

I never thought for one minute to check there! Do they have
any other bike related bargains?

Thanks for the tip

They've got track pumps in, or they did. Mine still had some
gel saddles left over too.

My preference are genuine Tour de France issue ones, thrown
out by the riders or retrieved from the mechanics at the end
of a stage. I am also using a PSP one at the moment. Don't
have caps covering the nozzle but mine don't get muddy as I
don't ride through mud.

Don't like alloy ones, you can't squeeze them so have to
upend far more=20 to get a drink when you're well into the
bottle. Went through the whole =

Sigg drink bottle thing years ago ("they're the best, that's
what I'll=20 have!"😉 but have since realised I was out of my
mind at the time and=20 just wasting money. At least the
Lidl ones won't be a waste of much=20 money, but you still
won't be able to squeeze your drink out.

Not just that, you can also pump drink into gob faster even
when bottle is full -- important when you happen to be
riding a bike at the same time.
