Remember being a kid and checking through the Argos catalogue to list what you wanted to ask Father Christmas for? When I had a child my parents did the same, as a grandparent’s prerogative I was told. I remember one day picking up our son from being babysat and he proudly announced that he had started his Christmas list but instead of being a few items it was more like the whole of page 24 from the toy section! I am a bit like this when shopping for cycling kit – I want it all!
I am lucky to be supported by Evans Cycles this year and so I have spent a lot of time going through their website admiring all the things!
Top 5 Items (that could fit in a Christmas stocking!)
- Hiplok Z Lock Combo – £19.99 – if you are like me there are often cafe stops mid ride and these locks are nice an compact to fit inside a jersey/jacket pocket to take with you on a ride and use when stopping to make sure your pride and joy is safe and secure.
- Endura Merino Neck Warmer – £16.99 – I am a huge fan of a buff/neck warmer as they are easy to carry and can be used multiple ways.
- Bontrager Flare Front/Rear Light Set – £59.99 – this time of year more than ever it is essential to ensure you are safe and seen and you can never have too many lights!
- Topeak Survival Gear Box – £27.99 – you may have tools, you may prefer to use a mechanic for your needs but this is a handy little box to have with the main essentials for basic bike maintenance.
- Kalf Phone Case – £12.00 – I always cycle with my phone and a bank card in a phone case and this is such a handy little stocking filler too!
In addition to the above I am looking to get creative with a pair of cycling shoes and found these Pinnacle road shoes that I am going to plan on customising in some way – ideas always welcome! Also have a pair up for grabs so if you head over to my instagram you can see how you could win a pair.
And just in case anyone is feeling particularly generous or wants to know what would be on my Christmas list if I could pick anything cycling related, then it would be this stunner of a bike (husband hint hint):
