Here are our hand-picked 6 Last-Minute Gifts any cyclist will love to get; from easy to gift stocking stuffers to a big “wow” gift that will win any occasion. Almost every item on our list is in-stock and ready to pick up right from our store. No shipping, no hassle, no wait. So make it easy for yourself (and your wallet) and take a look at our top 6 Last-Minute Gifts…
1. Cageless Waterbottle
Fabric’s Cageless Water Bottles eliminate the need for bottle cages by simply mounting directly to the frame of the bike via the pre-existing bolts- saving weight and money. They come in a variety of colors and two different sizes; not to count they look really, really cool. Because afterall; less is more. – Fabric Cageless Water Bottle 22oz, $15.00
2. Indoor Trainer
Nobody wants to get cabin fever- least of all cyclists. So when the snow’s falling and the temperature dips below sanity, make sure they have a way to ride that won’t give them frostbite. Indoor trainers are a great solution for the rider who wants to keep fit through the winter months without braving sub-zero Ohio weather. One of our top trainers to gift this year is the Evo Pro Mag Trainer; it’s got all the features they want at a fraction of the price. Quiet and smooth magnetic resistance makes for a less noisy, more realistic ride-feel, and a bar mounted resistance remote allows the rider to change the resistance level easily and conveniently. And it folds, making storage simple. Pretty cool, right? – Evo Pro Mag Trainer, $99.99
3. USB Rechargeable Light Set
Tired of spending the family fortune on batteries? Your prayers have been answered- USB Rechargeable Lights are quickly taking the illumination game out of the dark ages and into the future. And thanks to Serfas, new and improved high power bike lights aren’t going to break the bank either. Sets like Serfas’ E-Lume Combo Series start at $49.99 (for 200 Lumen Front, 15 Lumen Rear) and can go hours between charges. So cyclists everywhere can ride off into the sunset- without worrying about what comes after. Better yet, these lights can be picked up at places like Walmart and, if you’re shopping online, you can check out a site like Raise and see if there are any coupons or codes that could save you some money.
– Serfas E-Lume 200/15, $49.99
4. U-Lock
Let’s be honest; they own a sweet bike- but it’s not going to stay theirs unless they step up their lock game and start giving bike thieves something to break a sweat over. When wimpy cable locks aren’t enough, and you can’t afford a bike insurance policy, give them the next best thing: a bike lock that could have been Fort Knox in a previous life. U-Locks have to be sawed off; which means more hassle for potential thieves and more security for bicycles. Blackburn offers some heavy duty winners with formidable U-Locks named after famous prisons; “San Quentin” has an 18mm steel shackle and $4000 Theft Replacement Guarantee. With odds like that, it’s hard to go wrong. Bike Lock: 1 Bike Thief: 0 – Blackburn San Quentin, $39.99 (originally $89.99)
5. Adjustable Water Bottle Cage
What happens to the forward thinking people who don’t want to be limited to carrying one size of waterbottle on their bikes? They get the Justy- and never look back. The BiKASE Justy does what everyone’s secretly been wanting to do for years: securely carry any sized bottle where they want, when they want it. Need to bring along a big ol’ jug of Gatorade with you? Easy. Want to pop a small bottled water bottle on your bike? Simple. Justy adjusts to fit almost any sized bottle with a twist of dial and push of a button- big or small. So even if they already have bottle cages, we’d venture to guess that they wouldn’t mind a cage or two with a little more wiggle room – BiKASE Justy, $19.99
6. Bike-Specific Multi-Tool
They may not be MacGyver, but chances are, they still want to be. Make their dreams come true with a bike-specific multi-tool that has all the gadgets they need for emergency repairs- and then some.
Park Tool offers an array of multi-tool models but, if we’re picking favorites, we’ll have to say the Premium Rescue Tool is the tool we’d want to be stranded on dessert island with. It’s small, compact, and includes just about everything they’d need to fix their bike on the fly: Phillips and Flat Head screwdrivers, hex wrenches, spoke wrenches, an emergency pedal wrench, a rotor truing tool, tire levers, a bottle opener…and the list goes on. Being prepared has never been so fun, or easy to give. – Park Tool Premium Rescue Tool, $32.99
