Cycling bottles & hydration packs

Staying hydrated during any long-distance cycle ride like the London to Paris bike ride is essential.

Make sure you can carry enough liquid for the distances you plan to cover each day in case you can’t find a place to fill up on the way (however unlikely this is).

Easy access is key. Bottle cages are best for most people; however, hydration packs are a great option, too, especially if cycling in the heat.

There’s so much choice when it comes to drinking bottles or hydration packs for drinking on the go.

We’ve pulled together some highly rated and recommended bicycle bottles and cages, and hydration packs that could be a perfect fit for your London to Paris cycle ride.
