Sometimes the simplest ideas are the best. The bottle clip is a simple design concept for attaching a water bottle to a bicycle frame. It eliminates the need for a bulky water bottle carrier that will only fit specific size plastic squeeze water bottles. The Bottle Clip should fit on any regular sized bike frame and it has a threaded underside that will fit the top of any standard water bottle (or soda if you really wanted to get a little wild).
Obviously this wasn’t made for a professional cyclist as I could see the sloshing water from a half filled bottle creating an unbalanced pendulum effect but the Bottle Clip was designed by Matthias Ries to be an inexpensive bottle holder for the more casual biker. It’s just a concept right now, but I think this would be a very simple one to execute and produce (and if something similar already exists, please let me know in the comments!)

Brilliant
Not only simple and cost-effective, but this would be a cheap alternative to “traditional” drink holders and very accessible. These could even be modified for household or kitchen use.
Wouldn’t it swing back and forth and hit your knees?
Great idea. But only if it’s hard connected.
