After taking up mt. biking several ago, one of things I still look back on as on of the most major
boosts to my riding was switching from water bottles to a Camelbak. It was a water epiphany you
might say. Not being a road biker I am perplexed by why virtually no road riders seem to use
hydration packs. In fact I can't say that I've ever seen a rider with a Camelbak on that didn't have
knoby tires. Why is this? I guess the only possible arguments against it that I can think of might
be that is is less aerodynamic. But, I would have to think that with some of the slim packs they
have out, three bottles and cages would be far less aerodynamic than the pack. So to all you roadies
out there... what gives?
