I like the gel by GU for bike riding. If I ride for more than an hour I hit one every 30 - 45 minutes. It really does the trick. I also use Cytomax (lemon-lime is great) sports drinks, which I think are much better than the regular commercial stuff. Better ingredients and more things to buffer lactic acid, etc.

That said, I don't feel the need for anything under an hour unless I'm riding one w time crunch with little food ahead of time. Then I'll take some Cytomax for at least the steady carbs.
