Bananas on a ride. Does anyone take them?

[Dave7]

Serious question.
I have never tried it, thinking that on a 30/40/50 mile ride when sunny they could get seriously squished and messy.
So.....back jersey pocket, does it work?

Not much of a drops rider

@Dave7 rides low and aero all the time despite his 80 year old back

It was February, though

They are better when squishy, I tend not to get the ‘sicky burps’ quite so much from mushed up banana.

I've got something similar, called Banana Armour.
Listeners to 80s pop music may appreciate the name...

You can get whole dried bananas - from healthfood shops and the like - they're not banana chips - these things look like monkeys willies - don't ask how i know ...

but they are nice and chewy, and taste like the real deal ( banana)

They're far more transportable than the fresh sort.

Eat said bananas before you go out

Mine goes in my seat post bag. But if you wear a jacket they don't squish in the side pockets.

No but if you do want to take bananas, or carry anything, why don't you wear a backpack?

Jersey pockets for me. I like greenish ones so not usually an issue.

I have had a yellow one in a bar bag. Deeply unpleasant result after 30km.

Now I really like that.
What are the straps made of/from?

So eat enough nanas to see me through a 50 mile ride. Thanks for the suggestion but I see several problems there
