It isn't a matter of what you eat, it's what you do with the rubbish.

if you can call 2 presumably grown men abusing each other, then sure

my query was what do others eat that doesnt leave you with ANY rubbish.
My latest is a large wad of tannies/dried apricots (but making sure they
are in the pocket that other stuff doesnt go in ). In that case IT IS
about what you eat, isnt it

No, the previous thread was about what you did with the left overs.
Personally I prefer apples, but then I don't have a left over problem.

Over the years, I've tried dried fruit of various forms and mixtures,
including chocolate in various forms (smarties, cooking bits, drops,
etc), popcorn, rarely commercial stuff (aero, crunchie, etc), nut bars,
raw/roasted nuts. Largely comes under the generic name of scroggin to
me.

Eventually I just decided that better training or an easier pace was
simpler. I don't race, just tour and commute and the extra time on the
bicycle is largely enjoyable.

The problem is that any energy food is usually sticky in some form
and/or has leftovers. Simplest problem for me is to raid the plastic bag
snake[1] and just put an extra plastic bag in the jersey
jacket/handlebar bag/etc.

[1] Despite being the local "no plastic bag" nutter for quite a few
years, we still have a large tube (cloth, 3' long, 6" diam, elastic at
both ends) full of plastic bags that make their way into the household
(veges mainly). So they all go into this tube and are reused before
disposal. So there are always a couple floating around in the handlebar
bags that can be drafted for scraps. Also comes in handy for
punctured/damaged tubes on wet days, etc.

If you ignore the abuse, there is still information on one side at least.

No it isn't, in that case it is about choosing no rubbish alternatives, or
in the case of most dried foods, ones where you can leave the packaging
(rubbish) at home.

cheer up guys. the ride home tonight is going to be a pearler. A
tailwind this time for sure! LOL

PS if you wanna get anal, my query was what can you eat so as not to
carry any rubbish so I think we are agreeing acrobat-man

as i havent been on a ride longer than an hour for a couple of weeks
food has been irrelevant anyway!

Terry, do you eat the apple whole???

You ought to live in Sydney's west and work in the CBD... a tailwind
just about every day (both directions)! Double LOL!

PS. The downside is that you (a) have to live in Sydney and (b) battle
Sydney's traffic, but that is fun in itself, in a weird kind of way.

Bit of double edged sword in an out-and-back TT course, as I recently
discovered at the Mooloolaba triathlon. The bad news was that the
downwind leg was first, so you don't get the pleasant surprise of
increasing speed in the return leg. The good news was that headwind in
the return leg has a way of psychologically hurting your competitors
(as well as physically). Not that I paid for my trip with prize money
(ahem - only about 1/2hr behind the leaders).

Chuckle, it usually rattles around the bottom of the handlebar bag until
I do a complete clean out. It is the stickers that erk me. They just
transfer to everything no matter what you stick them to.

This one's been floating around a couple of cycling lists/forums:


<http://bananaguard.com/>


Not a perfect solution, but very visually attractive.


Diana Fisher would be pleased.

I suppose if you mounted two of them on your handlebars you could use them
as triathlon bars. Not sure how you'd run the cables for the bar end levers
though.
