when i first started riding i was only commuting, but it made me eat twice my normal amount, yet i was still loosing weight. which was tough at the time becuase i was a poor student, and buying all that food was taking away from my beer/weed budget.
in the last year or so i started riding alot more, these days i do 30-50mile fun rides most days. i dont suffer from craving as much food, but i turn into a real moody bastard if i miss a meal. ive never really had a breakfast habit before in my life, but now it makes a noticable diffrence to my mood and how my body feels, and cant wake without having somthing good to eat.
i dont eat on rides, but its somthing i might consider doing once i get my geared bike and will be doing longer rides.
