Blue Dew looks more like windshield washer fluid.

I stuck the bottle on the down tube to check for fit. The battery tube could move back a bit. The bottle is next to impossible to get out of the bracket, it’s basically spring metal, had to stay in place in a vibrating engine compartment in a former life. I guess it could be a look but not very functional.

Sounds better...tastes better!

The Psittaciformes lives on!

I had to do a web search as well. I’ll bet OJ did also or maybe he has experience as an ornithologist.

Getting cluttered...?????

I've been into birds for a long time. Audubon Society member and worked at an international camp at age 18. I'm older than that now.

Stand alone blender neat party idea and could be an idea for a ratified recycled exercise bike.
No blenders planned for the LaidBack bike. LaidBack is a frame of mind of reduced effort to chill...pedal powered blender contradicts that concept.

Hm, I would definitely try to put a battery in the tank space if possible - since it provides the "fuel" for the motor AND make use of said space. But this wouldn't work here - the battery is just too small in size and unfortunately would look out of place there.
Also your tank is a piece of work, sacrificing it for the battery doesn't make much sense.
No way to stuff the battery IN the tank?

The battery pack inside the red tube would easily fit inside the tank. But I’d have to add an access door to the tank. I’m not real excited about chopping up the tank. I like your “piece of work comment, I pretty happy with the outcome also.

I like it on the bike! I'd say fill it with tea to make people wonder just what IS in there!

It’s still on the bike, maybe, maybe not? It would be a conversation piece, I also have a flask holder.

Thanks! Blue would be politically correct as well.

You always have to coolest accessories!
I hope you Do the Dew in the antifreeze bottle.

Thanks half the fun is finding non bike parts to reuse and recycle,

Agreed, I need to at least do some photos with a few various liquids.

Now this ^ I gotta see! Talk about 'Views' fodder.

We built a redwood deck in the mid ‘80’s and it’s held up well but was showing its age. It was gained some patina and it’s had some boards replaced over the years.
Starting doing some maintenance on it and decided to “put lipstick on a pig” so to speak. Wanted to extend its life a little longer. Anyway I used some cedar trim and some 16”x16” rubber tiles to give it a new surface look. Not sure how well this will weather but it beats the cost of replacing the whole thing. Think Rat Rod Deck...

Still playing around with the LaidBack TransWorld project.

OK, liquid tests under way. With smaller clamps the mount might work where is mocked up at present. It clears spokes and my right number 12.
Number 1...Diet.

Guess the liquid if you dare...

Number 3...Dated Aug 2005, past it’s prime!

I don’t have any of the blue stuff previously recommended.
Yah I know this is weird, but the bike rides well with or without a hydration system.

If that bottle is for windshield washer fluid, or antifreeze, where does the hose connect?. Don't see a hole in the cap. If there is a place to connect a hose get a long enough length that you can do some sippin' while you ride.

That would solve the difficulty in getting the bottle out of the spring metal holder. We’ll see, thanks!

Not sure if I like it on there now that I've seen it. Maybe seeing the whole bike would help.

If I had to choose though, I would go with the second one.

Not sure about it myself, I just keep playing with ideas. The windshield washer bottle was used in GM vehicles and patented in 1961, and made in Canada.

I sourced a couple of smaller clamps today and may try tweaking the mount position. Since the paint is old and experienced I don’t think I can mess it up much.

Thanks for watching.

That looks pretty good there! Maybe you should just add water. The bright colors are distracting to me.

 

[GuitarlCarl]

Yep. As pretty as the bright colors are (Gatorade is my guess) I'm with The Renaissance Man. Water or maybe one of the frost Gatorade's, they're good if you like Gatorade, kind of white opaque. I do like where it's mounted. Also if you go look at those bottles on eBay, they come with two kinds of caps. One like yours or some have the hole in the center for the tubing.

Maybe since that parrot is perched on the front, something that would go with the tropical theme, like takeyla in the back.
You know, parrot in the front, party in the back.

Would that be a "pullet?"
