Bananas on a ride. Does anyone take them?

[Globalti]

Note of caution to anyone riding in South Africa: DO NOT carry bananas, the baboons will savage you to get them.

Forget all the marketing BS just use Bananas & malt loaf. Enjoy & save money.

Prefer to stop at a cafe and get a nice lump of cake and a tea.
Malt loaf? Are we rationing again?

PS,

Apparently, don't throw your banana skins into the hedgerow. I've believe they don't degrade well. It's something I used to do, but apparently it's not good practice ! Now there is another dilemma, what to do with the 'wrapper'.... plastic bag ....paper bag....

Very, very very wrong !!

And illegal, I believe.

Around two years, left to nature alone.

Do they not get eaten by small creatures, a tasty alternative to dandelion leaves.

I tried an experiment to test the 2 year theory and left a banana skin on my lawn one evening last summer. Result was it had decomposed without leaving a trace by the following morning.

Normally I just chuck them on the compost heap and they degrade in the same time as everything else on there

Jersey pocket + bubble wrap

Thats a good idea.....thanks.

Tools, wallet, food, extra drink, hand towel for mopping brow.
So much easier to stick it all in a small backpack surely?
Also, if it slashes it down, the backpack will offer more protection than your Superman outfit you crazy roadies seem to love.

I will be hiring a hybrid for a week on Majorca. Doing 40/50 milers in the (hopefully) sun I do not fancy a backpack hanging off me.

Really enjoy malt loaf. This is for a week in Majorca so not sure of the logistics as a) dont know if its available there b) if I take eg 2 with me will they be ok for the week.
I will think that one over.

Thats a good thing......if you know you will see a cafe half way round.

Jeese, where do you go cycling, the outback?

This is for my weeks cycling in Majorca so how can I possibly know where I will find a cafe.
Apology accepted

I will throw the skins into the hedge until I see scientific evidence that’s bad for the planet.
