Water Bottle Mount Design for Bicycles

With the growing popularity of eyelet-mounted bags and cargo cages, bike tourers and bikepackers are increasingly looking for ways to add mounts to their fork or downtube to attach such accessories. In addition, many desert routes and trips through warmer climates require extra hydration, so mounting extra bottle cages or oversized cages under the downtube, on the fork, or even on the chainstays is often a necessity for supplementing water capacity. These affordable workarounds can also serve to upgrade older bikes for those looking to try their hand at bikepacking but without the cash to invest in a dedicated rig. Cycling bottle holders are lightweight and ideal for holding water or your favorite energy drink. These holders can also be used in other types of vehicles, like a motorbike. These holders can be made from materials like plastic, aluminum, stainless steel, brass, etc. Students were told to design cycling bottle holders that can fit any cycle and can be adjusted on different cycle frames. Around 28 students participated in the competition.
