PSA: Why this cheap water bottle is my favourite new winter cycling accessory
Briefly

"On this occasion, coming home from a 200km hilly jaunt into south Wales... I was struck, 50km from home, by the most catastrophic stomach bug."
"I put it down to one thing: Farm effluent. A lot of my riding takes place on rural backroads... this has happened; long, wet rides where your body is more depleted than usual."
"Mudguards are a must for me for any wet rides on the road, not only in order to stay dry but to keep my bottles clean... a non-zero risk of contamination and on gravel I'm often fender-free."
"I'll spare you any other horrible details, but this isn't the first time it has happened, though this was the worst... projectile vomiting... so sore was my stomach that I was unable to keep my jersey zipped up."
