Hi MHBC members

My daughter gave me a BIVO water bottle as a Christmas present after I shared my frustration with finding a bike water bottle that is not made of plastic. One of my goals for this year is to eliminate as much plastics and micro plastics from my diet as possible. I loved it so much, I ordered several more and, since I know that many other fellow members are also looking for healthier alternatives, I reached out to the company to see if I could get a discount for our members. 

Bivo responded by providing of code that gives free ground shipping for all orders valid through the end of 2025.  Just use the code: Mid-Hudson-Valley-BC when you place your order.  Here's the link to their website: https://drinkbivo.com/.  The details can also be found in the MHBC website will all the other member discount information under the "Member Only" page.


Below is a little more info:

Why drink out of plastic when you don’t have to?

Years ago, while out nordic skiing in Oregon, the founders of Bivo realized that the only time they were drinking out of plastic was when exercising. Typical plastic sport bottles often get moldy quickly, taste gross, and are treated as disposable.

Plastic that tastes bad can’t be good for you. When skiing or biking hard, do you really want to taste plastic in your bottle? Robby and Carina didn’t. And that’s why they started Bivo: they wanted to drink out of less plastic and make a product that lasted longer.

Cleaner taste and a healthier ride

Bivo bottles are made from recycled stainless steel to keep your water tasting exclusively like water. Or your favorite drink mix. Easy to clean and dishwasher safe, Bivo's insulated and non-insulated bottles are made to last a lifetime.
