Some of the most frequently questions asked by people contemplating a cross- country bike tour would have to include, “What kind of bike should I ride?” “What are panniers?” and “What can I eat that is lightweight and will give me enough energy to keep going?” Dave Commins found the answer to the last question while riding through Utah.

I found PROBAR in Park City, UT in 2006 while passing through on a cross-country bike tour. I’d hitherto been restricted to CLIF BAR and was enthralled with the amount of energy I got from one PROBAR. They’re the perfect travel food. I fell in love and stuffed my panniers with as many as they’d hold before moving on.

Soon after getting home, I found they were being stocked at Earth Fare in Athens, GA. Now I make a point of picking up a box before any long bike rides. I end up spending less money than if I were to stop for food along the way, and I feel great the whole time too. Two cloves of garlic, a knob of ginger root, a line of cayenne, and a PROBAR is all the breakfast I’ll ever need, regardless of the hills between me and lunch.
