How do you all package food and access it while riding? I need to learn this skill.
Oil is good, grease is better.

I'm not too good at it either. But I can cut the top off of the clifbar wrapper and stick it in my jersey pocket and get to it ok.

I love my Bento Box. I can tip my sport beans and pretzels in there and then just grab them as I need. The one I have also fits a couple of sports bar. Using this I have extra room in my jersey pockets for any other gear I might like to take on longer rides (camera, bolero or more food).
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

Vote #2 for the Bento Box. I put a small sandwitch bag liner in mine and fill it full of stuff to just dip out and use. Originally Posted by Trekhawk

If you want a bigger and lower bag try this one

While it's been designed for a recumbent, I think it would work as long as the top tube is long enough.

I put my food in a dweeby little handlebar bag for easy access.
Also, when I think of it beforehand I'll unwrap some Payday bars and cut them up into smaller bits and place them in a snack size ziplock. If I try to unwrap them while riding I'm likely to drop the wrapper or run off the road. Or both.
