I know for us it is going to be a tight budget for Christmas 2009, that and we are buying him a new bike in February. So when I was thinking of gifts for this year I decided on a subsription to a cycling magazine and a new cycling calendar. Two things that I know that he will love without having to go into the LBS. I have toyed with the idea of getting a few energy bars/snacks to go in his stocking and a pair of socks.Too bad I cannot fit a new Pinerallo in his stocking. LOL

Unique gifts for a cycling dude?
To disable ads, please log-in.
It's usually easy to shop for my finance, but I'm a little hung up this year. I'm looking for a couple of gifts under $100 for him. He loves any kind of gadget, follows pro cycling, and does both road and mountain biking. Any ideas?

A subscription to a bike magazine and some cycling socks would be a nice, inexpensive gift.

How about one of these...
http://www.biketiresdirect.com/pptcg...ing_kit/pp.htm
I own this and love it!
Since the new bici is coming, he'll want to keep it looking beautiful and clean.
There are some other bike cleaning products you could include in this theme idea as well.
Most guys love tools... bici gadget tools, bonus prize.
Happy Shopping.

Thanks, everyone! I actually ended up buying him a bicycle tie from zazzle.com (search for cycling). They are hundreds of bike related gifts.
