good info/tips from all on food choices--but I learned to cut the bag open slightly to make it easy to get to the goods while still on the bike! I once lost an entire Clif Bar while struggling to open its bag

I've also become a fan of Glaceau's VitaminWater--I like diluting 50-50 w/ water for my hour commutes, and the tropical citrus "energy" is a good flavor--not too sweet--when diluted!

Poptarts are also a good ride snack--unfrosted strawberry--yum!
