Not for hydration as it technically dehydrates you. It does work amazingly well as a cramp bandaid. Mustard, vinegar and lemon juice work as well. Ive been using it for years but only recently found out that you dont even have to swallow it. The cramp fix is actually a neurological response. You can just hold a few ounces of it in your mouth keeping it in contact with the roof of your mouth until the cramps stop.
here in East Europe you can buy pickles and sourkraut at any and al lmarkets, in big barrels/vats, they weigh out as much as you want and ask if you want juice too. Some ppl buy just the juice for soups or watever.. I have seen ppl drink it hter,e on the spot, especially on pouling hot days, in factd in former Soviet Union countries I have seen the vendors offering cups if you just want a cup of juice for a quick, healthy pick-me up!
Absolutely, pickle juice first and after the ride and water and/or pedialite for hydration during long hot day rides (or any exercise really) I also supplement it with coconut water for sugar during long and/or after long rides.
I was on a long ride once and asked EMS if it really makes a difference! They said yes it does help and it really helps with cramping. (Eating pickles does work also)

Not for hydration but definitely to help against cramping. It works. But be prepared for some indigestion issues later.

No, far too salty for someone like myself who suffers from kidney stones and excessive salt contributes to the formation of them.
