Do you guys just eat afterwards, and not worry about running low on energy along the way? Do you just do something minimal?

I've had a variety of commutes, and have handled breakfast differently depending on the commute. I used to have a 15 mile commute (each way), over rolling hills. With that commute, I ate at work, after showering and getting dressed - usually something like instant oatmeal or a bagel which could be fixed in the small 'kitchen' that we had (coffee machine and toaster oven).

My current commute is 8 miles and flat - I usually eat at home before the commute, and don't ride hard enough to work up much of a sweat.

Try different things - see what works for you.
