Steel water bottles make everything taste terrible. This Black Friday deal helped me take the plunge and try Titan*

Luckily for the roadside fans receiving the flying bidons, the pro peloton only uses a few steel water bottles. And while I take on board what the good people are doing Cycling weekly By recommending switching from steel to plastic, let’s say they are heavy, so I thought about it… why would I stop? What about titanium?

Luckily, a Black Friday deal at Camelbak saved me from spending £150 (plus shipping) on ​​a pair of Camelbak Podium Titanium bottles. REI is offering a similar deal to those in the US who are also looking to spend a small fortune on bottled water this Black Friday. Now I only have to pay £150 – a bargain, right? Right!?
