I’m not a fan of water bottle cages: They sit low on the bike frame and in my experience aren’t always easy to grab at when you need to hydrate. My go-to spot on the bike for a bottle holder is right up at the handlebar, and that’s where Delta Cycle comes in.
Last fall, we mounted a Delta smartphone holder onto my e-bike, and since I found it to be durable and secure, looked to Delta for a handy, adjustable way to hold a water bottle.
Delta Cycle has designed an expandable beverage holder that fits right onto your handlebar for toting a reusable coffee travel mug or your favourite water bottle or tumbler. The open flap in front widens as you place your bottle of choice into the holder, which comes with two rubber shims (one thin, one thick) for getting just the right fit.
The mount contains an a Philips head screw on top to tighten once you’ve the holder in place and at the desired angle.
Delta’s expanding bottle holder comes in black, red, or blue; CAD $24.95/USD $16.49. Visit Delta Cycle online for shopping options. In Vancouver, Delta products are sold at West Point Cycles, and across Canada, at MEC.
