All of us at Bivo are athletes who love a little competition…and we had so much fun with the Battle of the Bottles challenge!
Thank you to everyone who participated and submitted images of their Bivo displays. Every display looked amazing, but one display really stood out.
Congratulations to Omafiets in Alexandria, Australia for winning the Battle of the Bottles.
This team went above and beyond to create a fountain-like display of Bivos and placed it front and center at their counter.

“When we saw the competition email come through, I immediately thought of a display that captured the flow of the bottle. WIthout seeing it in action, it's hard to appreciate what makes Bivo different from other bottles (and why it's such a good bottle for cycling).
Our initial idea was to have a "magic tap" fountain, with a clear pipe supplying the water up through the nozzle. TJ made a couple of prototypes using a pond pump from the local hardware store, however we couldn't quite get the water to flow diagonally along the tube in a way that looked realistic. That's where the wooden hand came in - it conceals the hose that goes into the back of the bottle, and also serves to model use of the bottle, while giving a pure stream of water that really makes the bottle look great.
The cube plinth with the signage came at the last minute when I was trying to figure out where to put the reservoir. The Bivo website already had some great graphics, so I converted them to metric (nobody here understands ounces), printed them out, and we were done!”

While we loved every single display submission we received, we wanted to recognize a few special runner-ups with impressive Bivo displays.
Shoutout to River City Bicycles, New Moon Ski and Bike Shop, and Skirack!

"Wait... How do I open this??" We've heard it a million times, and probably will a million more! Opening your bottle is simple, just pull straight up on the nozzle and voila!
