    Rule#52 (part)

    Two cages can be mounted, but only one bidon on rides under two hours is to be employed. Said solo bidon must be placed in the downtube cage only.

    Bottle behind the saddle = mobile bidet. With their occasional digestive disorders triathletes might reasonably need a mobile bidet. No-one else needs one. No-one.

    FFS, you might as well just bring one of those rehydration bag thingies on your back... :rolleyes:

    Bottles must be 500ml also, no oversize 750ml behemoths that ruin the lines of the bike..

    They are against 'The Rules' i.e.: the actual UCI rules by which road cycling is governed.

    It's ok though, if the president doesn't have to bother with the rules neither does anyone else :)

    I didn't realise that bidon holder is a posh way of saying bottle cage. So I had to look it up. Then I forgot the question.

    I say get one and while youre at it get the one that mounts in front of the stem too and just to finish it all off get a curly straw to use in the stem mounted bottle/cup. That's awesomenesssss right there.

    I remember I did the Tour of the Burren in 2011 (my first sportive). At the start we were all bunched together cycling down some rough roads. Then I heard what I thought was a strange noise from someone else's bicycle (one of those noises you know should not really be hapening). Then the guy in front of me (who had a dual bidon holder behind his saddle), his holder literally exploded sending nuts, bolts and metal all over the road, plus two bottles. Thought it was quite funny at the time, but I've had an aversion to the bloody things since.
