I woke up and discovered that im 50 lbs overweight. im 40. I cycled a lot when i was in my teens and i LOVED it. so I recently bought a decent bike and i can do 12 miles on 20 oz of water. my bike is only brazed for one water bottle holder. I do have a 3 liter camel back. I ride a road bike and i wonder id a camelbak will be to heavy to ride with on my back. your opinion will be appreciated!
a camelbak is a backpack water bladder with a straw that goes over your shoulder. great way to carry water for hiking, but im afraid it might be too heavy for comfortable bike riding.
