On Biking: Holiday gift suggestions for the cyclist
Looking for the perfect holiday gift for the cyclephile on your shopping list? Here are a few of my favorite things, each of which will make you very popular with your favorite rider.
When it comes to bicycle purchases is, Im a big fan of ride global and shop local. This means shop your LBS (local bike shop). LBSs (local bike shops and local bookstores) are what makes a town a community.
Now that Im done lecturing, lets talk about gear. All cyclists need socks. Preferably made from wool. My favorite is Smartwools PhD ultra light mini socks. Theyre thin and snug, perfect for warm weather riding. But come fall, most cyclists need a pair of booties to fit over their cycling shoes to prevent their feet from becoming frozen blocks of ice. My favorite is made by Endura . Theyre warm, durable and relatively cheap (about $40).
Warm feet are fine, but if your fingers are cold you wont be doing much riding. My fingers get cold easily. Thats why I use Pearl Izumis lobster glove . Theyre not cheap (about $75), but they are warm and comfortable. And on a cold winter day, what more can a cyclist ask for?
