Presents for cyclists

dh is a keen cyclist. He cycles to work and occasional weekend jaunts by himself - just along canals or established routes, not mountain biking.

Would like to get him some kind of cycling related present or stocking filler.

Not clothes or books. I bought him a tool set to take on cycles with him in the past. He has all the panniers he will ever need. Any other thoughts?

i got dh a cycle computer thing last christmas, it measures distance, speed etc. He certainly liked it and still uses it now.

Wiggle vouchers? Good website to start on for ideas anyway.

what about some decent rechargeable lights?

A Camelback? Like a rucksack but is a hydration pack so he can drink whilst cycling.

Does he have Id tags?

A cyclist near here was knocked down and killed, took a week before he was identified as he lived alone, no id and noone reported him missing Sad

On a happier note, my dh is also having an insulated drinks bottle for carrying tea in. Smile

Oh god, I don't think I could explain that as a stocking filler Katie.

A canister with compressed air for when he has a puncture? They're tiny and much easier to carry than a normal pump.

I'm looking for a similar type of present for my brother but sadly can't take the cannister on the plane...

I bought dh a cycling computer and a Camelbak rucksack like this for previous birthdays - gone down very well. That Camelbak is good as it is part hydration pack and part rucksack. Last birthday he got cycling shoes and a drop seatpost - but that's more of a mountain bike thing. No idea what to get him this year as I think I've exhausted most biking things.

A cycling magazine subscription? It never ceases to a amaze me how much DH loves reading about all things bikes.

My DH is a keen cyclist and last year I bought him an in case of emergency sports bracelet. He wears it whenever he's out.
