Get the plastic water bottle taste out of your water? Does it eventually stop tasting like plastic or is there something I can do? Sounds stupid I know, but I cant get the plastic taste to go away.

I've always heard that you can put a baking soda and water in, shake it up and let it sit overnight, but I don't know if it works all that well. On the other hand I just got some Tacx bottles that have zero plastic smell or taste.
I think the real reason people buy Gatorade is cover up that plastic taste.🙂

Half tsp vinegar per 8oz water. Shake. Sit overnight. Next day wash bottle with lukewarm water... plastic taste gone!
Good suggestions! I will try them all until that nasty taste is gone 🙂
Try one of those posh thermal aluminium bottles. The taste would be neutral and because it's thermal, your beer stays cold!!!🙂

Better yet, a tow behind cooler on wheels!
I pour in a tablespoon or two of mouthwash, fill with water and let sit overnight. while plain water will taste minty fresh for the first couple of uses (but fine after that), energy drinks aren't affected.

Good idea, coz you can get even more beer in a cooler!!! It'd have to be streamlined though!! Or better still, just ride your fridge!!!

I'm sure we'll see a aero carbon fibre Lance Armstrong signature low spoke count wheeled cooler in the 2006 product line.

I prefer the cans duct taped to the helmet. Easier to get to.:p

I wonder if it'll come with SPD's.
