drink holders - no screws

Hi guys,

I have a Raleigh Tora dual suspension bike, and it works great for my
purposes, but I guess because of the design it doesn't have any screws to
attach drink bottle cages or really anywhere much to put them. I was
wondering if they make a bottle holder that attaches with straps or
something instead of screws ?

Other ideas are welcome.. the bike in question looks like this:

I realise it's only a "budget" model, but I'd still like to be able to get
out and about with it.. (currently I haven't even been out of town with it!)

My LBS has single and double bottle holders that go on the seatpost and the
other option is to get an hydration pack. the latter gives you more fluid
and space for tools and lunch.

Excellent, thanks! The hydration pack sounds good as I'd probably be carring
a backpack anyway for that purpose.. (tools/lunch)

If you want a cheap, good hydration pack, Costco (I'm not sure if
it's stocked at every location) has the High Sierra packs with a 70oz
bladder, for only $20. Lots of pockets, straps, etc, and a good body-
cooling suspension system. Hooked a friend up with one and today was
its maiden voyage. He loved it. I've used the Mule for several
years, but there are lots of good ones out there.
