I drink water all the time... Unfortunetly I don't know much about hydration while biking (besides stopping at various locations and looting precious water..) and I suppose I have more questions than answers.

1) What would be the best method for biking in a relatively flat area? Houston is pretty much a giant parking lot and doesn't lend itself to much change in altitude. I'm guessing that I should just continue the cycle with my legs which I haven't started due to bad seat position?

2) I am moving to California soon and as such will be purchasing a new bike due to the facts that a) bikes won't fit in the overhead baggage compartment, b) my current bike is a cheap Huffy, conveniently painted purple and pink, though it is designed for males, features bubble-wrap for it's left handle and automatic derailing of the bike chain whenever gears are switched. Basically, I'll be arriving on campus and will probably be looking to buy something used.. What should I look for? Any suggestions, especially for someone who wishes to bike... a lot? Thanks in advance. And this thread will definitely help my workout.
