An aerodynamic liquid carrying container adapted for liquid delivery to a cyclist includes a reservoir with at least one compartment adapted to hold a liquid and being mountable to a bicycle forward frame member. The reservoir has at least one opening, to receive liquid and to allow liquid to be drawn out from the container; a flexible tubing member passing from the inside to the outside of the reservoir and having a first and second ends, the first end located near the lowest liquid level point in the reservoir and the second end being positionable to allow a rider hands-free access to drink liquid contained in the reservoir; furthermore, the container is attached to the frame member(s) using pads, suction cups, VELCRO®, or straps that do not leave a mark on the frame member(s). The container is mounted in a zone of turbulence to increase the aerodynamic performances of a bicycle.
