I'd be annoyed to buy a bike like that and find it didn't have cup holders.
What about a Camelback in Police Blue?
I bet he has one......in his pants.
Woops, I thought you wrote something else.

You may be surprised to learn that I am of the opinion that drinking from a straw is nowhere near as consuming of attention needed for responsible driving as anything done with a phone, except maybe leaving it turned off in the pannier.

I recently read an article about a study done on "driving distractions" and hands free phoning was only a tad less bad than hand held. It's how the mind is occupied that makes the difference. Hands free is still a phone call which is not as much a motor skill challenge as it is a problem because of what it takes to talk to someone over a phone. Talking to a passenger in the car does not take the same attention and can be interrupted more easily - as in, wait, I have some driving to do. In other words, most activities done by drivers while driving, can be put on hold easily, when conditions warrant. Gosh, I hope this is coming through the way I mean it to.
