Bananas release their nutriments slowly so one would last a whole ride – tried and testedSo eat enough nanas to see me through a 50 mile ride. Thanks for the suggestion but I see several problems there
But where is bananaman when you need him?
Unless his other name is Classic33.

@Dave7 bananas are my preferred ride nutrition for the first 60 miles on longer rides and then I switch to other stuff like savoury roles and flapjack etc.
I usually stick three large ones in my jersey pockets and they are always fine when I get them out to eat. If I haven’t eaten them all by the end of the ride then they go straight in the bin as they do get lightly bruised by the end.

It's not my banana/bike combo but a friends. The straps are just Velcro.

Why don't roadies wear backpacks?
Are they worried it will affect their Strava sectionals?

I have IBS issues, my bananas need to be slightly on the green side {once they have brown spots they ferment differently in your stomach }, they're much firmer for carrying in the back pocket. Conveniently they come in biodegrable wrapping too

The main problem riding with bananas is that they seem incapable of going in a straight line.
