| Jan 8, 2016 at 15:53 | comment | added | Michael | Even for races (-> very high intensity) nutrition only starts to matter after ~1h. I personally drink some cola or sugarwater before morning rides to get rid of that queasy empty-stomach feeling. | |

| Jan 8, 2016 at 11:01 | comment | added | Raphael | What is your nutrition paradigm? High-carb eaters (whose bodies will start screaming for fuel) will have more trouble than low-carb eaters (whose bodies will just use stored body-fat). On another note, this sounds like the perfect use-case for velomobiles. | |

| Jan 7, 2016 at 21:33 | comment | added | Superbest | People do 2 hour exercise routines on an empty stomach; I used to run 5 miles before breakfast, and I'm not even that athletic. At first it will be tough, but after a few weeks you will get used to it (maybe more if you are old or unconditioned). | |

| Jan 7, 2016 at 16:19 | comment | added | user24037 | Yes cycling on an empty stomach is extremely harmful. In fact you should always use a bicycle, not an empty stomach. | |
| Jan 7, 2016 at 14:31 | comment | added | Eric Lippert | I was taught that you should never bicycle on an empty stomach; you should bicycle on a cycle path. | |
| Jan 7, 2016 at 13:39 | comment | added | user_1818839 | If you feel faint, eat an energy bar. If you feel faint more than once a month or so on such a short run, get checked out for diabetes, as a precaution. | |

| Jan 7, 2016 at 13:01 | comment | added | Daniel R Hicks | It might be wise to carry an energy bar or some such with you, in case you have a sudden blood sugar drop. But a healthy person, with no metabolic abnormalities, should be able to do an hour's ride at moderate intensity before breakfast with no trouble. I've had a blood sugar "crash" a handful of times, but it was always in situations where I'd been going for hours, or when I was commuting home without ever having had lunch, or some such. | |

| Jan 7, 2016 at 12:09 | comment | added | sleske | One thing to be aware of: You might run into low blood sugar ( Hypoglycemia ) if you do this. For a healthy individual this is not dangerous, but you will feel very weak and dizzy suddenly. Just listen to your body, and take it seriously. If you happen to be a diabetic, speak to your doctor first! | |
