LukePurdon Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 Hi guys, created this because I am looking to buy a present for a cyclist and as you know cycling is not cheap. Thought this would be helpful for people to put ideas of great presents they have received, what price range and where they can be bought. I am looking for something in the R600 price range? any ideas?
dev null Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 1 pair of socks + 1 pair of winter gloves OR Multitool
Ratty Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 I got a night light for my birthday which was awesome.Also got a really nice trail top There are so many things you could buy a cyclist. How well do you know the person?
MarcBurger Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 You can go wrong with a pack of cycling consumables to suit your budget. I always appreciate a well thought out goodiebag of the stuff I need or will need. Socks.. lots of socks (the sock-gnomes are strong in the cycling field).Bottles: on condition that they throw out their manky, smelly ones.Race fuel drink stuff.CO2 Bombs, (not bombs bombs)Bike tools/patches/tubes/links/levers/lube.

Velouria Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 As a cyclist, I don't like it when people buy me cycling gifts. Perhaps I'm just too fussy, and perhaps I enjoy doing the pre-purchase research myself. And as much as I love cycling, there is more to me than just bikes. (Sheesh - I sound like such a grump!)
Paul Ruinaard Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 Assos Chamois Cream. The one that tingles. That stuff shows you are a caring person....
velomonatiCT Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 Agee with Velouria ! don't like it when others buy me stuff about bikes they think I might like ..gift card/voucher for my LBS - Best gift ever !
Dazshell Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 Serfas Thunderbolt or Knog back light ± R400 each. Either of them will be GREATLY appreciated. https://www.serfas.com/products/view/669/ http://usd.knog.com.au/bike/lights/be-seen-bike-lights/blinder-4v-pulse.html You will have to find them locally.
Dazshell Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 Or you can buy them one of these if you want to get them something useful that they would never buy for themselves! https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/120323-spurcycle-bells-black-back-in-stock/ PS. If my wife comes on this forum asking what she can get me for a present, I want one of these!
