It's February! We know it's not for everybody, but we love winter. And, we all know that nordic skiing is the best way to enjoy the snow (says Carina). This one in Vermont has been a little less white than we'd like but we still have been getting out for some great adventures.

In honor of Valentine's Day this week, we thought we should make sure you get to know us a little better! Many of you have asked where our name comes from, and, how the hell do you say it?! 

A few weeks ago, we got word of a rad woman named Claire Bruce who was taking on the challenge of climbing the Gaps of Vermont this winter on her fat bike. There are some crazy stats about Vermont mountains, including the fact that we have THE STEEPEST PAVED MILE CLIMB IN THE COUNTRY.

In 2022, we came together with our friends at Velocio to design a bottle dedicated to 1% for the Planet. We are super excited to announce that ALL profits from this bottle will go to 1% for the Planet!

Back when we first named Bivo, before we had even a prototype, we got very excited to get our name out in the world and one of the ways of doing that was making hats and t-shirts. We searched high and low for t-shirts and hats that were environmentally friendly, and really really struggled finding hats.

In the early days of Bivo (pre-bottle development) we asked a lot of you some of your pain points in cycling bottles. One of the biggest complaints was cleaning your bottle. So making a Bivo easy to clean was one of the top things on our list of must-haves.

Our friend and ambassador, Charles Nicholson, set out to ride in Mallorca, Spain. Charles is a rad dad, connoisseur of custom steel bicycles, lover of Bivo bottles, relentless climbs, and good coffee.

Hi friends, Izzy here from Bivo. As you can see with our new color mix up series, I love colors! The brighter the better. I think that mixing and matching your bottle base and lids makes a long training ride so much more fun.

The year is coming to an end and we wanted to send a note to say a BIG thank you! We just closed out our second full year in business and we have to say, it’s fun to be part of this community! Thank you for the shares, cheers, hellos, photos and support.

Each year as the ski season hits, we get super excited to watch nordic skiing. Growing up, we could only dream of a time when we'd be able to watch the US team compete with Norway and Sweden. Now, we avoid social media at all costs on race day so it doesn't spoil the surprise of a win or a podium finish for the US.

One, Duo, Trio, GO! What is the difference between all your bottles you say?! This week, our team created videos outlining the different features and benefits of each of our bottles. Check them out! #fuelmorefun

Today is Women Led Wednesday and I’m proud to represent Bivo as a woman led business. Join us and #ShopWomenLed today and every day!
