Best Bicycle Gifts

So, what would be good (and relatively cheap) gifts for cyclists? Not a major gift -- something more than a stocking stuffer, though. This is when I could kick myself for not buying some cheap jerseys at the Castelli warehouse sale.

Define relatively cheap. Maybe a nice compact multitool gizmo? Hard to
say. If it's for someone already riding then maybe something that's going
to need replacing like tires or bar tape since they likely have the basics.


Gift certificate at the LBS always works.

Depends what they've got now, and how they ride. But I suppose a classic
cycling cap might be the equivalent of the generic Dad's necktie.
One size fits most, it has some usefulness, and it checks off the "I gave
him/her something" box. I like mine quite a lot.

Blinkie taillights are useful. You don't have to be r.b.tech picky about them.

A bike bell can be either practical or whimsical or a joke. Maybe all three.

How about a decent book on how to ride in traffic? I'd recommend
_Cyclecraft_ by John Franklin.

the accident story I knew b4 was TE was at 80 mph, a woman driving a negative rear vision sedan forced TE off the road onto a grass verge with a ditch...

but last I looked, story of Richard Farina's BMW accident was off course..

Our longstanding advice is 'don't buy hardware as a gift'.
Sox, clothing, consumables (oil, bar tape, tubes, cleaner,
food etc)
