I'm not sure I consider myself a cyclist, per se, but I sure love to ride my bicycle all over the place.
I am, however, one of those people who needs to eat and drink more or less all the time
Especially if I'm on the bike or doing some other type of exercise. I always bring some kind of bar or fruit, even for 1-hour rides. If not, I'm doomed to get all light-headed and dizzy and would probably stumble out in the woods... Two hours with only water would bonk me big time.
Just my Swedish little krona.
