Dutch,

I cannot believe the bloody responses here. Yes throw it in the bushes
it WILL decompose... geez! Whats the big deal?

It's illegal, it attacts pests and vermin and it gives people more
ammunition to use against cyclists.

Using the same logic, it's fine to leave dog turds behind, just nudge them
into the scrub.

Nonsense, they don't spread disease, they don't smell offensively and
they're good for the soil. Get real will you.

Re disease - providing food for Flies and Rats probably qualifies, smells
offensive - rotting Banana peels strike me as an offensive smell YMMV.

Along with Rats they also attract and support European Wasps, which I see as
a problem and I note you chose to not try and argue the illegality or the
ammunition to use against cyclists.

Real enough for you?

Umm,yes they do. There are banana quarantine zones within Australia.

No, they are not good for Australian plants in australian soils.

The comparison was relative to dog turds you moron. How about you leave the
rest of the info in instead of taking things out of context. Banana peels
don't smell bad anyway, I still think you should get real.

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

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.

Tailwind........

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).
