I been commuting a lot but the one think I just can find a solution for is food. What food to bring that easy to eat and will not die in route on a hot day. Has anyone found a cooler that clips to a bike rack or some how to do this?

Thanks,

GEEK

I've been eating a lot of canned soup.

How long is your route? If you have a refrigerator at work, I wouldn't think a 20 minute transit would do anything to most lunches. I'm contemplating making those family sized (I eat a lot) rice a roni packs the night before, and refrigerating them in tupperware, bringing them in, and microwaving them at work.

Unless you have a really long commute, I doubt a cooler is necessary, unless you don't have a refrigerator at work.

I freeze a tupperware juice/water container or two. My lunch stays cool, and by noon I have cold drinks that have mostly thawed out (kind of slushy sometimes). I put my lunch and juice container into a plastic bag which rides on top of my clothes in my pannier.

I've got a little coleman cooler, square shaped with a handle and a flip/over lid that seconds as a can holder. It bungy's right onto a front rack and holds enough goodies for a 1/2 day ride. If you bungy both ends by the handles it's accessable while riding.

I walk over to a store near my office during lunch break and buy frozen foods for the upcoming week, and put them in the employee's fridge.

I try to carry as little as possible on the bike.

There's also those insulated truck bags.

My rack bag is insulated, though it wouldn't keep ice frozen for very long.

Someone makes a little insulated lunch bag. Similar internal volume to the 'brown bags' I used to take to school as a young'un. I believe they can be purchased at Target. Likely elsewhere as well.
