Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Amazing new invention- may appeal to triathletes?

I have these flashes of brilliance from time to time...

So I was thinking how triathletes attach food to their bikes. What about... Licorice bartape!

I'm a genius I know. Should I patent the idea?

OP, don't listen to the haters, I think you're on to something. Loosing weight from the bicycle whilst riding, genius. How about powerbar brake blocks? not sure how well they would work on carbon but I can't foresee any other problems.

If you're going to push the envelope of absurdity that far, then I would have at least gone with Spam tape.

I used to have flashes of brilliance like this, I was forced to get tested. They said my brain function resembled that of a seizuring gorilla. Good luck with your idea!

Why not try bacon? I'd more inclined to ride a bike with bars wrapped in bacon.

No edible water bottle. Drink the h20 then eat it. Flavors: Passion fruit, bacon-ator, coffee or carrot/apple.

Man that took a lot of brainpower to think up. I thank myself for contributing to this thread,...
