The Father’s Day gift dilemma

Saturday, June 12th, 2010

a2aJune 20th is fast approaching making it the perfect time of year to purchase a GoCycle especially if you are looking for the perfect gift for Father’s Day.  If a bicycle is not the only thing on your mind, here are a few more gift ideas that may help.

First of all, if your father plans to use his new bike for shopping or long expeditions you may want to consider purchasing a bike rack for him or a pannier to help him carry his weight on the bike instead of on his bike.  The Altura Arran pannier quipped with a Topeak Super Tourist Rack is a great combination with both priced low at £24.99 and £29.99 respectively from Evans.

If your rather is not a big fan of panniers, you may also want to consider purchasing him a cycling rucksack which is oftentimes much more comfortable and designed for better bike comfort versus traditional backpacks.  One in particular that sticks out from the crowd of bicycle sacks is the DHB Elsted 30L rucksack which is available from Wiggle and costs £37.99.  Bonuses of the pack include padding and a hydration pack pocket.

Those with a stylish father always on the go may want to consider purchasing an iPhone bike mount that will allow him to appreciate his tunes, Google maps, and performance while on the go.  As a bonus, you may want to consider purchasing a few iPhone bike apps and helping him load them on the mobile as well.
