    Staying hydrated

    I think the only other options are to stop off at public taps / pubs / cafes / get a new bike that can take a bottle / get someone else to carry water for you / drink from puddles and streams.

    @gunshot72 @flash and anyone else who has one: How are you guys finding your Cairn bikes? They have recently joined the UK cycle scheme so I'm considering getting one for my commute and some country lane and forest road use in my spare time.

    Motor failures: Am I making a mistake buying an eMTB?
