Default Good present for a cyclist?

Anyone got any ideas?

It's for my dad who cycles only for pleasure and has a few bikes, most notably his road bike which gets regular outing of up to 100 miles a day.

Cheers,
Kev

Depends what he has already...

have a look at www.wiggle.co.uk

I wouldnt be without my padded cycling shorts and my emergency repair kit that lives in a little bag under my saddle, comprises of

Pump
Spare inner tube
Puncture repair kit
Tyre levers

If he's doing that kind of milleage he'll have it already though I expect.

Yeah he's got that, but I think he may need new shoes, which might be an option.

OK well these are some of the things I'd be happy getting

Chamois Creme
Water Bottle
Science in Sport Drink, they do a pack for about £10 which comes with some energy & recovery drink and a water bottle to.

Cycling socks and or some cycling mitts might be a good one as well..

Depends how much you want to spend ?
