Cycling Christmas Gifts – Top 5

5.  Cycling Computer

When I started shopping for the holidays I realized that a Garmin Unit would be a great gift for almost everyone on my list.  Most cyclists…especially the “soul riders” will not spend their own money on a cycling computer, but secretly want to try it.  A great gift for the budget conscious is the Garmin Edge 200 .

The Garmin Edge 200 retails for $130.

4.  Self Massager

I like this gift for many reasons.  First, it’s useful and lots of riders don’t buy one for themselves.  Second, it looks big and expensive.  In all actuality they are super affordable.  The Trigger Point Grid Foam Roller is a great option.

This baby goes for $40 and looks cool.

3.  Sunglasses

The cool part about glasses as a gift is that one pair is never enough.  The crazier the better.  Feed your partner’s desire to stand out on the weekend group ride.  Trust me if anyone makes fun of him/her the response will be my partner bought them for me.  Here are some Oakley Radarlocks

2.  Custom Wheel Decals

We just had a customer purchase some hot pink graphics for his wife’s HED Stinger 6 Wheelset.  What a good idea for the cyclist who has everything.

1.  Power Meter

I thought this would be too expensive of a gift, but power products have been the top sell for The Cycling House Store.  Ibike is a good option starting at $499.  The Powertap G3 Rear Wheel comes ready to roll for $1399.
