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.
Sports reviews of Planet Bike 6.2 mm Welded Aluminum Bicycle Water Bottle Cage
Customer Review: Excellent!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
These simple WB cages are the best, cheap and easy to install. My bike has pre-drilled holes in two positions and I put cages in both of them to maximize my carrying capacity. I've even folded extra shirts or hats in them. No complaints.Customer Review: Cheap and classy!

Amazing product for the price. Fits my steel carafe as well as the tiny fiji bottles. Looks great as well, however I should have got the red color instead of the white to match my bike.Customer Review: Does its job.

Yup, it's a basic water bottle cage. Does exactly as it should. Welded together so it seems sturdy enough. It comes with no mounting screws though so have a pair ready.Customer Review: I use it on my Schwinn Exercise Bike
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
I needed a water bottle holder for my exercise bike. This was the cheapest and it looked decent so I decided to give it a try. This unit does not come with any bolts. Luckily I had the bolts already attached to my bike, so all I had to do was remove the bolts, pop this one on, and put the bolts back on. Easier said than done right? ...not so.
The holes on this unit were smaller than the bolts on my bike. Most people would have to return it. But me, being the handy man, decided to enlarge the holes with a drift punch and a wrecking hammer. After about 10 minutes of pounding, I made the holes large enough to accept the bolts and I put it on my bike.
I wouldn't do it again but for $5 bucks, who cares.
I should note that the cage can be bent with some effort to accept smaller or larger bottles.
Customer Review: Inexpensive, Works Well, Looks Good

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.
