Sports dietitian, cycling coach, retired professional athlete, and team sport director for USA Cycling and professional cycling teams Kristen Arnold shares some advice for hydrating on indoor trainer rides.

Angharad Porteous loves exploring on her bike. Over the past few years, she's sought out numerous bike adventures that have taken her across the world. On today's blog, she describes her recent bike trip to Costa Rica and recommends a few bike trips near the Portland, Oregon area.

When considering an insulated water bottle, people most often think about how useful it will be in the summertime. But insulated metal water bottles have another skill: preventing room temperature from cooling down even when in a freezing car.

Peggy Shinn has been around the cycling world a long time, long enough to have seen many bike inventions come and go. She's seen her life on the bike greatly improved thanks to inventions like integrated shift and brake levers, side-load water bottle, but she's also skeptical of new bike tech. Until Bivo.

Bivo's weekly Thirstday Blog has covered everything from why we first developed metal cycling water bottles to guest features that celebrate the cycling community. In order to include more voices, we are launching a new regular series featuring guests who will share their cycling perspectives. Stay tuned!

Bivo loves attending cycling events! We reminisce on The Ranger, a great event from last year in Tunbridge, Vermont and share some details of which events we will be heading to in 2024.

We brought Ben Ogden's bottle to the World Cup in Minneapolis and the bottles sold WAY faster than we could have expected. We’re pumped to announce a pre-order for a new round of his bottles, available now. Get your own 21oz Ben Ogden Bivo water bottle for nordic skiing, biking or cheering Ben on from the sidelines!

This Spring, we have three new colors: Mango, Flamingo and Cactus. 

Mango is named after the fruit's bright, juicy interior and we picked it because many of you have asked for orange/yellow tones. We chose Flamingo because CYCLISTS LOVE PINK. And, finally, we picked Cactus because it was about time we brought a deeper green bottle to market 

This past weekend, the Bivo crew headed out to the Minneapolis World Cup. We have attended World Cups in the past, but this was unlike anything we have witnessed. It had been over two decades since the United States hosted a Cross Country Ski World Cup, and the fans were buzzing with excitement. Our travels from Burlington, VT on Friday morning felt like a reunion as I felt like I knew half the airport. Our flight was delayed out of Burlington into Chicago and we were worried we’d miss our connection until our flight attendant announced with disbelief, “For those of you heading to Minneapolis, you will not miss your connection. I’m not sure what y’all are doing there, but over half of this plane is on the flight to Minneapolis, so they are going to wait for you.” Over half of that flight was joining the other 20,000+ fans from across the world to watch the races.

I'm not much into my own racing these days. With two young kids (one of whom doesn't like sleep and has a knack for getting sick every other week) and a growing business, maintaining any consistency in exercise is a bit of a shot in the dark. So when the team asked me to participate in the weekly Wednesday Night World's at Sleepy Hollow, our local nordic area, I was a bit apprehensive. 

We wouldn’t exactly call ourselves the most romantic people. And certainly not ones to go out of our way to celebrate Valentine’s Day. But our daughter has my last name (Hamel) and her middle name is Robby’s mom’s maiden name, Hart. So, there is a little more love for hearts in our household than I could have anticipated. Now I find myself wanting to buy flowers for her for Valentine's Day, who would have thought?!
