Maybe he meant plastic bags for wee? Was the obvious joke I thought but now that you've admitted to leaving other organic waste in your jersey it does make me wonder....AJ_ wrote:Well I hate the banana in my top on a hot day, its not very nice. Also I am not one to want to stop in the middle of my ride to find a bin. So fan of the bag idea. Also I was berated one time for not taking out the peel of my top and putting in the wash.il padrone wrote:I don't usually use plastic bags for thatLivetoride wrote:Bin it or take it home with a wee plastic bag tucked in your top.

Interestingly enough when I was a Venturer Leader we were told that chucking an apple core into the bush could result in the propagation of an apple tree which could displace native vegetation, an extreme example I know but thought provoking.

Gathering trail-side blackberries along the Great Southern Rail Trail. Have done similar with apples on the East Gippsland Rail Trail near Bruthen. However this is not an issue with bananasMike Ayling wrote:chucking an apple core into the bush could result in the propagation of an apple tree which could displace native vegetation

I know people who wouldnt eat an apple off a tree because it would somehow be 'yuck' 'that's from outside, eeew'
Haha, more for me!

EAT THE BANANA PEEL AS WELL
Hahahahaha. Im just kidding. I can't believe there is actually an article on what are the benefits of eating banana peels
Seriously though, the best thing to do would be to bring it home and compost it. But before you compost it make sure you (also from that website) rub it on your skin to stop itching, reduce inflammation, remove warts, smooth out wrinkles, get rid of acne, control psoriasis, and improve skin tone and texture.

That's hilarious. Note the 3rd monkey actually rejected a fair bit of the end of his banana, much more than what I usually reject. Picky monkey!bardygrub wrote:Ask the monkeys

One alternative is to peel the banana before the ride. Now, how does throwing the peel in the bushes compare to the consumption of another length of Gladwrap in environmental terms?

I sometimes carry one of those wee freezer bags from Coles, put the peel in there if there's no bin, so it does get mushy on my top, then bin it at home.Cheesewheel wrote:what do you do with the plastic bag you put your banana peel in?Livetoride wrote:Bin it or take it home with a wee plastic bag tucked in your top.
