Our bike club is having it's Christmas party next week. We are having a White Elephant gift exchange...gifts are to be between $5 and $10 and cycling related. Anyone have any ideas for gifts...maybe something a little unique?

I don't know if it's unique, but you could buy an assortment of energy bars, gels, sports beans, that sort of thing, and bundle them up in a nice little package. If you find them on sale, say in the $1 to $1.50 range, then that would get you 6-10 different items for the gift package.

I think the Cage Rocket is very cool.
Instead of trying to stuff everything into a tiny saddle bag, this container fits into one of your water bottle cages and holds you stuff! Simple idea, very useful!

That is really cool!

I know on my tri bike... I can't put the water bottles behind my seat, because my fix a flat bag is there. But, with this, I could do that.

I also can't put a water bottle between the aero bars, because my huge 'ol computer had to be mounted there.

I have a horizontal water bottle holder though, and I could move my flat stuff to there with this device, and mount water bottles behind the seat... so I don't have to race with a Camelbak or just one water bottle.

This fits the bill:

Crank Brothers' Speed Lever for changing tires/flats. I've used this thing and it is the GREATEST. Everyone who I lend it to wants one! UNder $10.

Darn...this isn't under $10, but I found a really cool pizza cutter today in the shape of a bike with the front wheel being the cutting tool. I got it at my local Trek shop....$19.95.

It's for my nephew...hope he's not reading this forum.

Thanks for the ideas. The pizza cutter sounds cool.
