Morning nutrition

On the mornings that I commute to work, I wait to eat anything until I get in to work. If I'm doing a longer ride, I'll wake up with enough time to eat my normal breakfast foods, then wait a couple hours. This usually gives me just enough time to "offload" the meal from the previous day, and it'll give me about 8 hours of uninterrupted ride time. Then I just use Bloks and bars as needed while riding.

I never eat in the morning before working out. Whether the bike, run, swim, or weights. Nothing like coming off an evening fast and working hard on an empty stomach. It forces us, generally speaking, to use up energy stores in our liver and muscles. I've lost quite a bit of fat on this approach.
