Well, it was good for a chuckle to me, at least. If he wasn't a road biker in the past, I'd give him a break. But since he as knowledge of the sport, it's just one of those crazy "what the cluck?" gifts.

You could start a thread on crazy gifts. I got this wierd plastic wagon looking thing one time with a pipe on one end and a metal plate on the other end. Couldn't figure out what the heck it was supposed to be. Never did. Closest I could come was some sort of cigarette holder (in the base of the big plastic pipe--smoking pipe shaped) and the metal plate was an ash tray. Well, that could work, I guess except I have never been a smoker. Still puzzles us to this day (needless to say we got rid of it very quickly).
