Cyclists eat rice cakes while biking because they are easy to digest, non-perishable, easily portable, and rich in carbohydrate - the preferred fuel of working muscles during long cycling sessions.

Which rice cakes are you referring to, as the ones I’ve seen have 7-10g of carbs. That’s a helluva lot of rice cakes to eat to get 60g/hour.
