If you drink directly from rivers or puddles it does, but i keep mine in the fridge if i want
it chilled.

Yeah, seem to recall ice forming in the bottle a couple of times last winter.

Speaking of winter.......can't wait :-(

On a cold, cold club run years ago when it was about -10 deg C, we got to the cafe (a manor house
in the middle of nowhere) and when we came out again, the water was solid ice in all the bottles.
Might be the extreme cold or just a coincidence, but someone broke a crank and I snapped a spoke on
the way home.

Don't let water freeze in your nice Sigg bottles - they rupture. Quickest way I know to
destroy a Sigg.

Yes, I know plastic bottles are just as good, but I _like_ Siggs.

Siggs don't leak. My plastic bottles leak when carried in bf's pannier.

There was a letter on this point in the CTC rag a few issues back.

Wondering why cycle bottle leak from the top, when you can by water etc. in 'sports' bottles that
have tops that don't leak

Obviously a fault with bf's panniers.

As a control, have you tried putting a Sigg in bf's pannier.

Get a better plastic bottle!

You can get high quality non-leaking bottles with a first filling of water for about 20p in a
supermarket.
