About Planet Bike
In November of 1996, Planet Bike was founded in Madison, Wisconsin. In many ways, Planet Bike began as a social experiment that dedicated itself to doing business in a different way. Instead of being just another company that develops and sells products with profit as its end goal, Planet Bike wanted to help bring about positive change for people, their communities, and the environment.
Despite being a simple machine, the people at Planet Bike have always believed that the bicycle has great potential to help improve the world and the lives of the people in it. From the start, they have embraced an alternative corporate purpose which seeks to help get more people on bicycles by making communities friendlier places for the self-propelled. By donating 25% of company profits to causes that promote and facilitate bicycle usage, Planet Bike hopes to make an impact.
Social experiments aside, Planet Bike was born from the heart of a cyclist with a goal of making innovative, high quality, and practical bicycle accessories. Simply put, they strive to design and develop the best bicycle products in the world. In the company's short ten year history, they have made important product innovations within the bicycle industry. Advancements include the 4-line computer which is now a standard in the industry and the world's first self-contained HID light. Not bad for a company that ten years ago started as a one man operation. Today, while still a small company, Planet Bike continues to evolve and improve their product line with the goal of always striving to build accessories that make it easier for people to ride their bikes. Since 1996, Planet Bike's financial support of the grassroots bicycle movement has totaled $500,000. By 2010, they have made a goal to donate $1 million to organizations that are dedicated to making America a friendlier place for cyclists.

Inexpensive, Works Well, Looks Good,

This review is from: Planet Bike 6.2 mm Welded Aluminum Bicycle Water Bottle Cage (Sports)
I bought two of these water bottle cages to add to my new bike. They're light weight, reasonably attractive (they look exactly like shown in the item description, including the colors), and sturdy. They attached to my bike's braze-ons easily. I have two sizes of water bottles (20 oz and 24 oz) and the bottles fit snugly into the cage. And after several hundred miles of riding, I can postively say that they work well.My only nit is that they didn't come with screws to attach the cage to your bike. But, for the price, they are still a very good buy.

Simple and Effective,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Planet Bike 6.2 mm Welded Aluminum Bicycle Water Bottle Cage (Sports)
Background: I bought this water bottle holder in red for my new bike.The Color: The red is a brilliant and vivid red. The product pictures for this item are accurate (as far as the red goes). The Cage: I use two different water bottles, a Polar 24oz - Thermal Insulated Bottle Big Bear which this cage holds snug and secure, and a 27oz Klean Kanteen Stainless Steel Water Bottle which the cage holds in place reasonably well. More About the Klean Kanteen: My Klean Kanteen (w/ sportscap) is my main water bottle, so it spends a lot more time in this cage than my Polar. At first I was nervous using my Kanteen in this cage because on first use, it slid into the cage very easily (too easily), and seemed very loose in the cage. It even rattles around while riding, making a distinct chattering sound. This chattering has left minor scuffs on my kanteen, which is not a big deal for me, but might be for someone else? But now that I have filled your head with fear, let me tell you why I STILL use my Klean Kanteen with this cage: The water bottle has yet to fall out of this cage. Despite the apparent looseness and the chattering, the bottle has never slid out on a ride, or even when I pick my bicycle up to carry it over obstacles, up a flight of stairs, or into a building. Somehow it just holds it in place, and when I need to grab the bottle for a quick drink on the road, it slides out very easily and quickly. Conclusion: This cage is simple and effective. It is well made and light weight, and my red cage looks nice. The price you get here on Amazon for this cage is also pretty good. Extra Notes: This cage does not include mounting hardware. Most bikes already have the mounting screws attached, so just use those if you have them. UPDATE 6/22/11: I bought two more of these for my mountain bike in black. The black is sleek looking with a matte finish, and looks excellent on my matte painted mtn bike frame. UPDATE 8/1/11: I bought another set of these in white for my new gloss/sparkly white road bike. The white cages are plain white (not sparkly like my bike) but look fine on my bike. I would describe their color as true white. I have also started using my Polar bottles almost exclusively, but should mention, that my Klean Kanteen STILL hasn't fallen out of any of my 5 cages.

This review is from: Planet Bike 6.2 mm Welded Aluminum Bicycle Water Bottle Cage (Sports)
Bought two of these for mine and my husband's bikes. I have a women's comfort bike and he has a mountain bike and a road bike. The cages fit all three perfectly. All three bikes had predrilled places for the cages. Just take out the screws, put the cage on and re-screw. Done! Would certainly buy again.
