I do 
It's about a mile long, never any traffic. You could just about do it on a big gear but I prefer to change down, rpm up, de-skin and chomp down.

Do you have a place in your ride where you regularly eat a banana?
Lively lot here.0 -
Blimey, you must have a hell of a fast metabolism for a banana to kick in, in time to be of help on a miles climb
Science adjusts it’s beliefs based on what’s observed.
Faith is the denial of observation so that Belief can be preserved0 -

Sounds like Hannibal Lecter having a banana.0 -

Oh, so you're talking about eating a banana while on a steady, easy gradient!
Nope, only got proper mountains around here.--

Bananas contain pectin which increases your metabolism, but remember to get up hills faster...time flies like an arrow but fruit flies like a banana my isetta is a 300cc bike0 -
I do it but only when riding with others...all part of basic psychological warfare, being able to keep up with others who are struggling away and you are taking it easy having a banana 0

I don't like bananas.
Unless they're mashed with honey, warmed up and served on toast, but I can't do all that on a hill. The microwave won't fit in my jersey pockets.0 -
To answer the question...
No. But I do have a dried apricot hill, can't get up that hill without one, om nom nom my isetta is a 300cc bike0 -
I went in to a Banana Dip today. Does that count? Not sure about the gradient but it made my feet slip trying to climb on foot out of it. ...................................................................................................
If you want to be a strong rider you have to do strong things.
However if you train like a cart horse you'll race like one.0
