the peanut butter isn't a problem? sticking-to-the-back-of-your-throat-wise?

 

Add jam... and butter :)

 

Easier to eat than any commercial bar.

 

Eating on a bike does take a bit of planning on what the route is in front of you - eating when the peleton is about to go hard is not easy, and off road, upcoming technical sections and fast downhills are a problem - but SOMETIMES you have to eat - so chipmunk cheeks are useful - as is the technique of throwing away whatever is in your hand... :)

 

With proper prep - there is not much requirement to eat food unless the ride/race is going to be over 3 hours, and you can get away with just using carb based drinks with no performance degradation - the picture changes when riding/racing more than 3 hours, or when it is a multi day event - then you have to eat.

 

A casual 3 hour ride around the park does not classify as needing you to eat at all - riding at race pace for 3 hours or more does.
