Well, that's my opinion anyway. There has been a lot of discussion lately about the various benefits and drawbacks of seat mounted bottle cages. I've never used them, and never really saw the point of them, but also never really thought much, positive or negative, of them. Now I can proudly say that I think these things are just plain stupid. Maybe it's due to the fact that I almost got nailed over the weekend while some guy was doing his best to ride one handed while searching for the cage and weaving all over the course. Or maybe it's because of the endless numbers of people I saw who seemed unable to locate the damn thing while riding. At one point, I even gave directions to a guy to help to help "guide in" the bottle.
I've always liked the bar mounted systems like the Jetstream. They may not be as aero and I don't really care. You can drink from them while maintaining your position, and you don't have to play "Where's Waldo" with your damn cages.
