I believe I am now addicted to the beans. I can't say I notice any real benefit of eating the beans, but I like them just the same. It's kind of nice to have something to actually eat while riding.

Those packages can be hard to open. I've been opening them and dumping them in my right jersey pocket. No packages to worry about and I just reach back whenever I need a bean. My friend puts hers in a Ziplock bag. You must do whatever you need to do to have the beans!
