Ivana, my brother works in green food, and tells me that soon bananas as we know them will soon no longer be (some pollination thing, which will make them too expensive to grow and too unpredictable to import as we do now) so I eat them while I can, at every opportunity. And they are the ultimate energy food for me. Unfortunately, they are not really green... I do feel guilty sometimes.

Hey, what's with the tire patch kits? Do people really patch their tires on the road? I just slap a spare on and ride home, and patch at home. I mean, maybe if it was a touring trip... but for a 50 mile ride? Or commute? I can't see myself having the patience to sit on the side of the road patching my tire. LOL.
