My guy is a bike rider/ mechanic its hard to shop for him he dont like body sprays jewlery any advice?

Well, if it were me, I would like a 1or 2-day release from family and house responsibilities and go on an overnight bike tour. (Actually, I would like to take a week but don't want to press my luck!)

Riding jacket or some riding shirts

or if he needs it a portable music type system for whenhe rides.

or you could buy something to put on you and say it is for him :)

Buy something that he likes or has an interest in hobby. Eg... something from Harley Davidson would be nice. Or a gift certificate to his favorite bike shop or sports shop. Not everybody likes the jewelry or cologne's/sprays!!! So your not alone!!! He would appreciate that you showed an interest in something that he loved instead of something that you liked alone!! Enjoy!!

This is the way I liked it ..... AH...AH

well i would say def get him something that involves cycling, depends on how extravagent you want to go, have him go with you to a bike shop and have him pick out something that he wants

You are in trouble but there is hope. You are describing me so I can tell you what my wife has done.

If he is affiliated with a bike shop he is probably buying his parts at a discount or wholesale and you would be hard pressed to know what parts he wants anyway. So forget that idea.

Approach this another way. Get him a coffee table book on cycling history and photos in the area of interest he has. If he is an on road rider get him something related to the Tour de France, Lance Armstrong, Greg Lemond of other appropriate champion for the country in which you live.

If he is mountain bike riding get the same thing in that realm. These should be available online or from large book stores in your area.

Bike riders are fussy about their equipment, so don't try to guess what he wants. Get him a gift certificate at his favorite bike shop. That way he can turn it into something he wants.
