The BikeRadar team know how difficult it is to buy Christmas presents for cyclists – they've either got it already, don't need it or want it in a different colour or with a different logo on it. That's why we've developed a list of goodies to make the decision easier.
From bike-hanging hardware to tools and clothing, there's plenty listed below. Take a few minutes to think about what you'd like, or maybe what would make a good gift for that special someone who, like you, eats, sleeps and dreams about bikes.
There's plenty of winter left after Christmas (except in San Francisco, where our US office is based), so we've included a DVD, a snazzy scarf and hat combo, some fruit and blinky lights. Our Christmas book reviews may also give you some ideas if it's just too grim to venture outside.
