Nope. Sadly it's a Schwinn bought from Kmart last year. It looks exactly alike in the photo though, same colors and size!. But then, the photo is small and lacking up close detail.

No1 son completed his sponsored bike ride- Thank you for donating
A friend lent him what I can only discribe as a catheter bag that comes in a light weight rucksack. The bag is filled with energy drink and the tube drops over your shoulder. Phil' said it was great for the trip and he forgot he was even wearing it!

We call them a camel back, but no respectable road rider would be caught with one of those things on them. Mountain bikes are OK, but not road.
RE: Here it is! - Twitchin Kitten - 05-10-2011
I'll be getting one of those things if I start doing long trails. I had one for horseback competition but it got "forgotten" to be returned to me 10 years ago. It's a valuable hunk of equipment.
RE: Here it is! - twisteroo - 05-11-2011
I kinda need one for one or two rides that I would like to complete where there just isn't enough water and I can't carry enough. But I'm so cheap, I duct tape a bladder out of a box of wine to the back of my sweatshirt and just run a hose.
RE: Here it is! - Twitchin Kitten - 05-11-2011
Jesus, spend $20 and find one out of an Army/Navy store or an Equine supply house that specializes in Endurance and Competitive Trail riding or Bass Pro Shops has them cheap enough.
Just tried a quick search for equine supplies and got nowhere but Bass Pro has some.

Wow!!!
I've seen knock offs in wal-mart for about $20.
Actually though, I never thought of it till I typed that last post. I'm gonna save the bag out of a box of wine and see how well it tapes to an old sweatshirt, when it's out of water I can just toss it in the bushes and some park volunteer with nothing to do can pick it up later.

Well for me it's going to be all about balance too. My back remember, is bolted together and I must have balance or I will not be riding for two weeks and I'll be all doped up on pain meds.
Oh and I talked to the bike shop today about the seat and they think they can get me one that scooches back a couple more inches too.
RE: Here it is! - twisteroo - 05-11-2011
I've actually thought about that wine bag trick to get booze into sporting events and stuff too.
Not that I go to any sporting events, but with 5 liters of vodka taped under your shirt you might the most popular guy there.
