Does it get in the way of running? I hate it when my elbows hit the bottles. Any reason it would be uncomfortable while riding/running with horses?

The water bottles don't hit my elbows and I have long arms. I couldn't tell you about riding I don't ride with them.

Turn the bottles so they curve in - then you won't hit them. A bit harder to pull out while running but not a big issue.

It doesn't roll well on rough surfaces with the gas bottle installed because of small casters. If you have to roll it a sizeable distance on a bad surface, I would remove the bottle first.

Really need to sit down, I tried to stand and pedal so i could answer this question. The knees hit the handle bars and it would be just very uncomfortable.

Hi - apologies for the late response. We still have this problem. It's really not very comfortable.

I did not encounter this issue on my Canondale Synapse. What i DID however find and you should be aware of is that when "standing" and pedaling it interferes greatly by rubbing against your knees and just making it awkward. I took mine off since I do a lot of hilly rides.

I put them low on my hips so they do not impede with my arm swing at all. I have the two bottles only though.

I can't stand up and pedal on mine; it didn't feel sturdy when I tried. However, one style of riding I've used is similar to running while seated. I can pump my arms and legs in a running style, all the while seated. I've ridden over 400 miles now and love the convenience to exercise in my home.

No. Mine doesn't really move either. But since I'm not real sure what it's suppose to do, I just leave it alone. The bottle still works great without it

I have not yet worn this while riding but I have worn it for 13 hrs on 2 consecutive days and not felt like it was uncomfortable or cutting off circulation or anything.. The way they do the stitching on the back of the knee seems to make it not bunch as much. Now, the other day I sat in a low chair with no leg room and that wasn't comfortable (I'm 6'2" so my legs were very bent). I had to pull it off. Other than that, no problems. I think it would work great for cycling. Give me a week and I'll probably have taken it out on a ride. In any case, I don't think u can go wrong. It's about as comfortable a brace as I've ever had. Way better than the neoprene ones I've had.

I haven't had that issue. I've worn them for 3 hour runs. Now the part that touches the top of the ear to wrap around the back get just a tad tender, but I have a feeling that is impacted by my winter hat pushing on it. Not at all a deal breaker for me. Overall, they are a great buy!

It is difficult to avoid some spillage! I move quickly and usually that's ok. Incidentally, the bottle I had before this one had a better design and this didn't happen! I should have kept it and refilled instead! It may be intentionally designed this way, so you purchase more. It is so mild though, that it is ok if some spills out.

I would think it would be OK to use as long as it's on tight enough. We obviously had our dog's on too loose because she wiggled out of it twice! It should be fine for running because it does seem to be sturdy too. I hope this helps, and if you have any other questions, let me know!!!!

my understanding is the gas is heavier than air and sits on top of the wine. I push the corks back in as far as possible so they don't leak the gas out. If the cork is in there, jostling shouldn't matter.

My biggest complaint is the pressure on my ankles. You can sometimes get situated where it doesn't hurt. But its a hit and miss every time in my experience.

I've used elbows at 90 degrees, with forearms parallel to the ground. This has worked well for me.

Given how precarious it feels pedaling on my bike without holding onto the handlebars, I would not suggest it. Just sitting upright on a stationary bike without holding onto the handlebars is not a problem, but with the motion of pedaling, I suspect it would quickly become awkward. This is because there is no saddle nose to keep you centered on the seat and you cannot compensate with your arms (as I have to do on my road bike) when you are not using the handlebars. At least on a stationary bike, if you lose your position on the seat, the bike won't go out of control and falling off should cause no road rash. ;) Given how precarious it feels pedaling on my bike without holding onto the handlebars, I would not suggest it.

I don't have this problem, so I can't help you. I empty the bottle immediately after each ride and leave the top off until I fill it again. I also never close the valve, since the bottle sits upright in my bike rack holder.
