How do you carry these with you?? I commute and although I love bananas, by the time I get to work, that thing is banana soup inside.

I second (third? fourth?) the comment about being hungry all the time after starting to bicycle. I've slowly been ramping up my miles, and I end up starving all the time. For my snacks:

Milk and a vitamin before my morning commute
1/2 C. oatmeal, fresh berries, and yogurt all combined for breakfast
String cheese
1/2 a cookie or something small but sweet (I can't resist sweet foods)
Small spinach salad with feta, cranberries, and walnuts for lunch
Banana or apple
1/2 a cookie

I usually don't eat much in the evenings, and I find that nibbling more through the day keeps me going better than having large meals.
