Please post a method of keeping water very cold when on a bike. This is
something I could really use.

Duh! Just fill your saddlebags with ice, and put the water in there!
My SuperSport even has drain holes in the bottom of the bags, so the
melted ice can drip out... :)
Or get one of these:

and a trailer hitch receiver for your bike... Then just strap on a
cooler and go...

It was 6F that day. Everything, including my eyebrows, froze during that ride.

I have a couple Camelback liners (2½ liters each) that I purchased at
a BMW rally. Got 'em for $2.50 each because the vendor didn't want to
bother carrying them back to the store and restocking them...
I'll fill them about half full of water and freeze them. When I'm
ready to go, I'll top 'em off with water and put them into a backpack
designed to carry a laptop computer. Lotsa insulation in the backpack
which keeps the water cold all day long. (No, I don't wear the
backpack, I strap it to the rear of the bike)
The amount of water I put in to freeze depends on how hot I expect it
to be... (The hotter it will be, the more ice I make) Added benny of
this method is the large opening on the Camelback liners allows me to
stop at just about any gas station and top them up with ice from the pop
machines...
