What is a good gift for a cyclist? |
My dad bikes pretty regularly and lives in the DC area which gets pretty chilly. Any suggestions on stores to check (preferably online)? A balaclava is a one-size fits all head and face warmer (kinda like a ski mask but with only one bigger opening for eyes, nose, mouth) that is most welcome on cold days. You don't need a Polartec fleece balaclava, just a thinner one would do in the DC area. Usually less than $25 at bike shops or sporting goods stores. Or you can also get a skullcap if you want. http://www.nashbar.com/profile.cfm?categ... http://www.coloradocyclist.com/common/pr... Another cheap gift is a roll of handlebar tape. The tricky part is that color and taste have to be taken into consideration. This is the easiest and cheapest way to give a bike some pizzazz. http://www.cbike.com/bartape.htm... Another cheap gift is a pair of water bottles. You have to determine if dad is a gadget type or wants to look like a racer. Gadget type: Sigg water bottles (aluminum insulated and fancy looking) http://stores.ebay.com/edward-james-stor... Racer-type bottle http://www.ital-tecno.com/shopexd.asp?id... Happy holidays! gatoraid because you mentioned it is cold maybe some new gear like new gloves and windbreaker/track jacket. also get him the new ipod shuffle. it will keep him happy while biking gloves if it is freezing like it is down here in canada u might want to get some bikeing gloves and some light but warm jacket. but personaly i believe the best gift would be a bashee morphine-a totaly wiked bike. or a kona freeride bike would be good also. cuz what a true biker needs the most is a good bike that suits him. Look for an Activa Stormfront jacket he will love ya for it http://www.activagear.com/eng/tops_storm... My customers can't be wrong I know literally 100's of people that swear this is the best coat out there for cycling |
