He has:
shoes, computer helmet, socks, camelback, gloves, lubes, food.
If he wants to clean the bike, he puts it on the bike rack on his vehicle. He only has 1 pair of socks. He hates wool, but any ideas on other types?

DeFeet socks are great.
So are you looking for stocking stuffer things (socks, tubes, trail food, Brave Soldier Crash Pack
, etc), bigger coin (tires, work stand), or excessively expensive things (off-season trainer, wheels)?
Just had to add ... me and DH both have bike cubes. Love 'em! DH didn't think they were such a great gift at first ... he was pretty attached to the miscellaneous plastic grocery bag method of packing. But he's come around.
Also, if he does mostly DH/FR stuff on established trail networks, maybe he wouldn't be as keen on a GPS. But my favorite bit of gear is my Garmin!! It's saved me a few times, and has been a great training buddy.Last edited by ima_bleeder; 06-27-2008 at 06:19 AM.
I don't crash so much anymore (less blood on the trail), so just call me Stephanie
I'll tell you what I think of bicycling. I think it has done more to emancipate women than any one thing in the world. I rejoice every time I see a woman ride by on a bike. It gives her a feeling of self-reliance and independence the moment she takes her seat; and away she goes, the picture of untrammelled womanhood. ~ Susan B. Anthony

I personally like those athletic socks that are an acrylic blend rather than cotton.

My hubby was sold on the bike rack/ hang it from the ceiling method until we got a work stand. Do you have a good set of bike tools? More jerseys?

I second the work stand. I bought this one for hubby last year and we use it a lot.
