We are a small team of eight people living (mostly) in Vermont. We love product, challenges, being outside, bikes, and people. Our hometown of Richmond is nestled in the green mountains and is home to 40+ miles of mountain bike trails and hundreds of miles of dirt roads.

We designed our bottles to be easily cleanable. So here's a guide on how to quickly remove, clean and reinstall the o-ring on your insulated Bivo bottle.

The dirt caps are a well loved Bivo accessory, but sometimes people have questions on how to put on or take off their dirt cap from their bottle. This post shares our best tips on how to use dirt caps while out on your bike.

Microplastics and nanoplastics are, unfortunately, all around us. We interviewed an expert on microplastics to get a sense of why they are bad for you and how to reduce your exposure to microplastics.

When we first considered making Bivo metal cycling water bottles, we knew that using stainless steel would be the way to go. Durable, recyclable, anti-corrosive, safe to drink out of, stainless steel was clearly the best option.

A few years back, Robby and I were in the thick of parenting chaos (still are with #2) with our little bottle-challenged daughter, Svea. She was on a mission to reject every bottle in sight. We had to test bottle after bottle and always hated the idea of feeding her out of plastic. We appreciate her stubbornness but damn, that was a stressful one! Thankfully, she finally gave in and went straight to a glass sippy cup that was a win for all of us.

Let’s talk bike water bottle cage fit – it’s an important topic when it comes to safety on the bike. We did some serious testing when developing the Bivo One cycling water bottle and the Bivo One has a universal cage fit as a result!

Cleaning cleaning cleaning. Honestly, not my favorite thing to do. But when it’s made easier, I really appreciate it! When we came up with the idea for Bivo, we knew a lot of what the bottle would need. Flow rate was our first thought – how can we get water out quickly enough so you don’t lose a breath focusing on sucking in water (and getting rid of that precious air)?

 

August has been a packed month of events and we are learning from all of you! We have been thinking about our bottles since 2019 so what may seem obvious to us by now is still new to many of you! Thanks for asking questions, sharing ideas, and pointing out important elements of the bottles to us!

Will my new Bivo fit in my bottle cage? What cage fits the bottles the best? My Bivo doesn’t fit in my cage, what should I do?

We get these questions a lot and hope this article can provide some answers. Through our own testing and customer interaction, we’ve learned the perfect bottle cage is entirely based on personal preference. How tight you like the cage to hold your bottle, the material, and location on your frame vary. Generally, we have found side loading cages work well for small frames, and carbon/plastic cages will hold the bottle tighter than metal cages.
