Sometimes, I'll make a banana smoothie at work (I have a Bullet here) so I'll peel and slice a banana the night before, freeze it in a baggie and bring it that way.

I keep mine in my soft-sided insulated lunchbox and have no bruising problems. Bananas are my favorite fruit. Tons of potassium.

Never make eye contact while eating a banana.

I usually take one on my commute to work (30 miles each way). Great source of carbs, potassium and yes sugar. Awesome healthy boost and easily digestible.

If your banana ends up all bruised when you get to work, your saddle is pointing too far upwards.
Which is a very serious issue indeed.

It'll be ok, as long as you don't drop it on its left side during a strong gust of wind.

I throw mine into my tailbox, and a few days ago I pulled one out that was black, mushy and had a frozen center. Clearly I need to re-think my banana transport method.

I carried a couple of bananas in the outer pocket of my backpack while on a 4+ hour ride last Saturday. Didn't have any problems with them at all.

I've lain awake many a night, pondering this exact issue... how does one, pray tell, transport a banana in a protective, yet efficient, manner to avoid unnecessary bruising. Fascinating.
... or just puree it with yogurt, milk, or soy milk, put it in an unbruisable drink container, and then drink it along the way.
... or mash it and make into banana bread and haul that along instead!
... or pulp it up and put it in a squeezable tube! It'll be like banana toothpaste! Very space station chic.
Mmmm... this thread is making me hungry.

I bring one banana into work each day, usually in my pocket or trunk bag, and I have never thought there was a need for some of these products, but there you have it.

Banana transport
I've spent two sleepless nights now thinking about this...
Tomorrow I will experiment with putting bananas in thermos flasks.
We still haven't gotten into the finer points like the relative maturing rates of organic vs non organic bananas during a long commute for example... Come on, this is BF folks!

Plant a banana tree at work. Use it to lock your bike so it serves two purposes.
