How do you carry your food?

[dudi]

Do you just bung it in your jersey pocket?
Do you have one of those tri-bags?

I've been just putting it in my pockets, but i'm going to be upping the miles this year so will need to up the food too and might be a bit uncomfortable with a ton of flapjack in my jersey...

Panniers

Trio had one of those Tri-bags on a ride and it looked very useful.

I usually just cram it into my jersey or jacket pocket, which is fine but it looks and feels kind of un-appetising when it gets time to eat it.

I came across (at the back of a cupboard) a bar bag I bought ages ago. Doesn't look very elegant but it is handy and I am going to use that on longer rides if I can get it onto the bars ok.

Rucksack seems fine to me.

Jersey pockets, but there's only so much room.

Fancy one of those tri-bags tho'.

wherever i can cram it, have been known to hold things in the leg of my shorts too. i ahve a tri bag that sits on my top bar but i tend to put tools etc as they are heavier than food

I have my cereal bars and other energy bars in my jersey pockets. If it gets squashed or whatever i dont usually mind, i just want food so it goes in my mouth. Only time i mind is when it breaks off and goes on the floor
You can get alot of food in your jersey pockets, have food on either side, one stuffed more then the other, and its all fine.

You take sandwiches with you on rides? What do you think this is, The Famous Five!? You stop off at a garage enroute and spend £4.99 on a Ginsters Egg and Cress sandwich and then hold the carton in your teeth or stuff it up the front of your jersey until you find somewhere scenic.

Yes, that's right, to be precise the MayFly Public House in Fullerton (see an earlier thread) The Landlord loves cyclists.

Well I have a saddle wedge bag for tools etc. Reckon I'll see how I get on stuffing all the food in my pocket tomorrow, if it's not comfy i'll stop by the LBS on the way home and put some money in their pocket.

quite like the look of the topeak tri-bag, but not sure if it'll be big enough as I've not seen it in the flesh/fabric yet.

 

[Mortiroloboy]

What about a musette?

 

[Leadlegs]

I was given one of those Tri-bag thingys for Christmas and found it to be very good. I used to carry my food in a jersey pocket but the bag is much better. It's easily accessible and kept in better condition. It could easily become my preferred food carrying method.

 

[dudi]

is that one of those horse-bag things?

Or how about a Topeak Basketcase (previously called an Aviva, but it wasn't selling) ?
