What happens when you drink water though and the water level changes? Is that real question or am I just misunderstanding what you're saying?

You're misunderstanding. You have to pee back into the bottle. So you drink some and then you pee back into the bottle. So the bottle always stays at a certain weight. So anytime you drink, you have to pee in the bottle. So it's consistent. Hey, everyone.

We're back for yet another episode of the Pink Bike podcast.

I'm Mike Levy, and today in episode 98, we're going to do a deep dive and do our six

trail bikes from the fall field test series that's either just wrapped up or being

close to wrapped up. I'm not entirely sure when this podcast is going to come out, but either way,

we're going to talk about our six trail bikes from the field test. So if you listen to our

downcountry bike debrief in episode 95, it's going to be just like that, but reversed. This time around,

Henry Quinny and I will be asking Mike Kazimer and Alicia Leggett a bunch of tough questions,

including some that I've picked out from the comment sections under each review. So we're going to

ask them some of your questions as well. But before we get into all that, let's talk about what the heck

a field test is and why it's a lot different than our normal long-term bike reviews.

Kazimer, can you explain what a field test is and why we do them? Yeah, so field test is a great

chance for us to do some back to back testing on these

bikes. It's a little bit more condensed than our normal long-term reviews where those, we

have a bike for a month or two where this one ends up being a couple weeks of ride time on the

bikes. But the benefit is, like I said, that back-to-back testing. So test loose. We do the same loose. We do some timed laps just to kind of get

an idea of where they might stack up. And then along with the time testing on that timed lap,

we just do some kind of regular rides, just rides the mix of terrain, just to kind of see the

differences between all the bikes. Cass, how important is that back-to-back testing? Like you and I and Henry and Alicia, like we've all ridden a lot of bikes and we all know

what's happening underneath us, but how important is it to ride these bikes back-to-back?

What does that do for us?
