Bottle or bidon ???

[nickyboy]

I wonder whether Karate & Judo types have similar discussions over the Gi?

"Actually, it's called a karate suit."

Keep going JtM, you're on fire this morning

In Welsh, it seems to be "Potel dŵr Beic"[1], although it's surprisingly difficult to find Welsh language Bike Shops online.

[1] Occasionally written as "Photel dŵr Beic"

Poll
Which are better for peeing in?
A) Water Bottle
B) Bidon

Sorry @Accy cyclist

Esperanto seems to be: biciklo akvo botelo

Bidon is definitely the nicest word, but water bottle is what I call it normally.

I've started taking an empty "bidon" to bed with me, as i tend to wake up and want a pee in the middle of the night. Now there's no need to hobble to the bog, i just pee as I'm lying down.

With the added bonus that you now have a hot water bottle, sorry hot bidon, to see you through the night.

You have to remember though to not wake up and think ah, i need a sip of water.

You will go much faster if you're carrying a bidon rather than a water bottle. Also, you don't need to wave at cyclists coming the opposite way.

"Where did I leave my flask of weak lemon drink?"

"Come on then you tosser put 'em up. ha lost yer bidon ;ave ya?"

Dangerous ground there @Will Spin that topic could have a whole sub forum of its own that'd give the helmet debate a run for its money.

 

[shouldbeinbed]

What's the difference. ?

pretension?

Does that make it a peedon, or maybe a peedin?
