Alright, let’s be real—cycling isn’t just about pushing pedals, it’s about what you can stuff in your pockets to keep you going. So, in my quest to level up my rides, I just spent $70 on a bunch of energy gels, bars, gummies, and hydration tablets from a site called TheFeed.com. Why? Because apparently, just drinking water and grabbing a banana isn’t going to cut it anymore.
TheFeed.com is like the Amazon of cycling snacks, but better, because it actually makes sense for new riders like me. They’ve got everything—gels that claim to turbocharge your legs, bars that somehow pack a whole meal into a bite, and hydration powders that promise you’ll never cramp again. And I thought, “Why not try a little of everything?” So, I did.
The package just landed today, and unboxing it felt like a weird mix of Christmas morning and a science experiment. We’re talking a wild variety of brands, flavors, and textures—gels, powders, bars, gummies—you name it, I’ve got it. The best part? The Feed’s sample pack exposed me to brands I’d never even heard of. I’m talking all kinds of flavors and forms I didn’t even know cyclists used. This is next-level snack research.
Over the next few weeks, I’ll be putting these to the test—seeing what fuels me up and what leaves me feeling like I ate a bag of bricks. Expect bite-sized reviews as I try them out. Will the gels make me feel like a superhero, or will I need a dentist? Are the bars actually worth cramming into your back pocket? We’ll find out.
If you’re curious about what fuels a new cyclist (or just want to laugh at my ride experiments), stick around and subscribe. I’ll be reporting back with the good, the bad, and the “what was I thinking” moments. Let’s see if these snacks really live up to the hype.
Stay tuned. Let’s ride fast, snack smart, and not bonk halfway through. 🚴♂️💥
