Bike related gift for new-borns

[raf_gti]

Yes yes, I know they won't be able to use them!

My BiL is the new proud new father to twin boys, as both myself and him are very keen cyclists I thought it would be nice to give the boys something bike related.

I was thinking along the lines of wooden bikes which are more decorative than anything else.

All suggestions, both suitable and non-suitable gratefully received!

Those wooden bikes are balance bikes aren't they? Supposed to be great for teaching them balance without stabilisers. They'd have to grow into them as I think they'd be suitable for around 2 yr olds.

Cycling romper? You must be able to get them!

Trailer or seat? Seat will only work if his wife cycles too. A double trailer maybe? Not much use for two kids until they're capable of supporting themselves (and their necks are stronger). You can put a car-baby-seat into a double trailer but you won't get two of them into one. I still wouldn't put a newborn into a trailer anyway - maybe from 9 months.

Something of a novelty, but maybe appreciated, depending on the type of cyclist the father is.

Order one (or two) of these: http://www.rapha.cc/rapha-chamois-cream

Empty the pot into a jar for your own use, clean it out, refill with baby cream nappy arse stuff (can you tell I have no children?), repackage and give.

Lidl have balance bikes on offer at the moment. not much good for a proper newborn though i guess

As per my suggestion on the 'Christmas present' thread; a 'Cycling Passion' calendar each from the year of their birth to be opened when they are 18.

Appreciating assets that Dad will also like..
