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. The trails and roads keep us busy and full of adventures, but the community is what pulls us together. Vermont is a small, tight-knit, and incredibly passionate community. You can always find yourself a spot to pull over on your bike, grab a snack, and chat with a fellow Vermonter about the weather (hot topic always!). The pride and loyalty to each other and the environment runs deep here and we all love to call Vermont home.

Together, we geek out on product, have endless conversations and debates over what the best cage is for our bottles, pitch in when Caitlin needs a hand in the warehouse, travel to events, and endlessly talk about all things bottles. Much like the small town we are based in, we are few in numbers and rely heavily on each other and our community to inspire us.
We would love the chance to chat or better yet meet you in person. Reach out via email, swing by our place in Richmond when you visit Vermont, or come meet us at an event. No matter what, don’t feel shy. We sell water bottles but love the personal side of this business.
Cheers, Sam, Keaton, Charlotte, Lily, Caitlin, Peter, Mark, Carina, and Robby

Hi Nicki!
Thanks so much for the super kind comment. We’re happy to hear that you are loving your bottle already! We are grateful for your support and please stop by and say hi if you find yourself near Richmond next time you are visiting your mom! Cheers, Keaton and the Bivo crew

I’m a triathlete and just took my brand-spanking-new bottle to the pool today. I’m SOLD! That thing just flows and flows – no squeezing, no microplastics in my brain. I can’t wait to take it riding. The non-insulated bottle weighs the same as my horrid plastic bottles. I’m in love. And I LOVE that I’m supporting a small crew in Vermont (my mom lives in Randolph Center)!! I suspect I will soon have a cabinet full of different sizes and colors….

Hi, I won a Bivo in a raffle. I absolutely love it! Can you tell me a little about the packaging that were in the bottle. I see two black things in a brown packet and a long silicone piece. I didnt throw them away, but dont know what they are for or how to use them.

you guys should consider the Texas Hotter than Hell 100 ride in August
There vendor show is excellent and there are over 5000 riders there.
Get you great visibility in a hot environment where your bottle would be so valuable.
Water gets hot between stops. just sayin !

I love my 2 new insulated bottles…that being said, the one thing that I miss and might try and “ MacGyver” are pull handles. I have a hard time getting the bottle out of the cage without looking down. With the pull handles I know where they are without looking and can easily get the bottle. I was so excited when I saw your bottles and didn’t even realize there wasn’t the handles

Hi Pat, The entire Bivo team (and ambassadors!) really like Arundel cages. If you are riding in lots of mud, you will still see some wear and tear over time. My personal favorite is the Mandible: https://www.arundelbike.com/product/mandible/
After a super muddy or gritty ride, I’d recommend washing your cage to avoid scratching. Also, make sure to use the screws that were included in the bottle as they are low profile and some cage screws that come on the bike are super long. Hope that helps!

I jusT received my new black insulated bivo water bottle. I’m very anal and would like to keep it nice looking as it is now and wondering what best water bottle carrier is out there for this to fit in and still keep its appearance. Is that possible? I’m so thirsty! :)
Thank you!

I recently read about bivo in the wsj, tariff challenges etc. And while I had seen friends using the bottles over the last year or 3, I hadn’t tried them yet. So I made the purchase, a couple insulated and one single wall bottle. I absolutely love them. Throwing away all my plastic bike bottles. Cold water in steel tastes so good! And the flow is real. I read a a review somewhere about how a person finds themself consuming more hydration than they did previously, because the nozzle flows so naturally and effortlessly. Its a fact. This is a great product and is part of my gear set whatever the activity. Thanks bivo!
