Drinking from a Water Bottle or Hydration System (CamelBak®)

It is a necessity to keep hydrated while exercising, and therefore drinking while cycling is an important skill. The two recommended methods of drinking on the bike are from a water bottle and from a hydration system. The water bottle is quite obvious, with the bottle carried in a bottle cage on the bicycle frame. A hydration system is a backpack-type reservoir with a tube reaching to the rider's mouth.
