Father's Day Cycling Gifts For the Bike Dad

June 10, 2016

Need Gift Ideas For Father's Day?

So your Dad lives the bike lifestyle? He walks around in his bike shorts. He keeps bike catalogs and magazines handy in the bathroom. He says helpful things like, “We should bring our bikes next time!” 

Well, no worries! It's good to have a bike Dad. And you just might want to treat him right on Father's Day, hint, hint!

Here are some suggestions:

• Tires, Tubes, and Inflation. Dad can always use more of the basics. Plus, loaded touring cyclists need a real tire pump to achieve adequate pressure after a flat out on the road. But, of course, Dad knows it has to be compact and light and that’s a lot to ask. Topeak has the solution.
• Revelate Designs Gas Tank. Mounted on the top tube, Dad's ID, phone, pizza maker, and snacks will always be nearby. Just kidding, the pizza maker won't fit.

• Osprey Raptor 10 hydration pack. This Dad, Dave (above), is a total gear head and rides with one of these. ‘Nuff said.
• Sigma 8.12 Cycle Computer. Affordable and wireless. When the directions say, “Turn left on the double track  in two miles,” Dad will be glad he had one of these.
• Tifosi sunglasses. Fototec™ lenses darken in bright light and lighten in dim conditions.
• Saddles from Terry or Brooks Is your Dad still riding that unremarkable saddle that came with his bike? If so, a top-notch saddle could be the perfect gift!
• Therm-a-Rest Slacker™ hammocks. Get your hard-working dad to slack off and take a nap.
• Bikecentennial socks or trucker hat. Blast from the past gifts that we can't keep stocked!
• Upcycle! Could there be a more perfect bike Dad gift? Check out these wallets constructed from recycled inner tubes.
• Panniers. Use this pannier comparison chart to buy your Dad the perfect pair.
