Gift Ideas for the Cyclist
Safety first
Any of the Lupine cycling lights or flashlights are terrific. I use mine every day, summer or winter, day or night. Because I want to raise the odds in my favor.
See for example Lupine Piko Dual-LED Lamphead for Daytime Safety, though in the winter I tend to run the powerful Betty R (now 4500 lumens!).
In the USA, get Lupine lightes at Gretna Bikes. Be sure to get the handlebar mount for your bike’s bar.
Add the DiNotte 300R LED Tail-Light and you are set.
Coffee
Especially in winter, what cyclist wouldn’t like a great cup of pre-ride goodness?

I use Rancilio Rocky Doserless Coffee Grinder @AMAZON, which grinds the beans to a consistency that makes a very smooth and very rich brew (I brew one cup at a time). I tend to use a grind much more to the fine-ness of an Espresso grind (setting “10” on the Rancilio); there is no trace of bitterness due to the exceptional quality of the Kona Cloud coffee beans. Which in fact is the only reason I drink coffee now; I was never impressed with regular coffee, finding it rather weak or bitter or both. The matter is now settled.
Bike fit
