Cycle gifts for Christmas.

[Chicken Chaser]

People have asked me what I want for Christmas. I've been trying to think myself. Recently had birthday so sorted myself out with new shoes, leggings, shorts, Jersey etc. For clothing all i'm asking for is Gloves and a few pairs of socks as I've got Gilets and the like already.

I've got a Turbo, got a Garmin, got a decent road bike but wondered if there was anything I might not immediately think of which could improve the cycling experience?! I think I might invest in a CO2 pump over the Pocket Rocket (which I struggle to get enough air into the tyre without breaking the valve) and having seen someone elses post, might look at a K-edge mount for the Garmin!

Anything else recommended?

Turbo trainer DVDs?

Lezyne Femto Drive?

loads of good books on the sport and the famous riders, but also dome slightly more adventure based stuff like "take a seat" about the guy who rode a tandem through south america and the people who rode with him, Rob Lilwall's about cyling through siberia or Mark Beaumont who cycled round the world... Robert Penn's and the cyclesnobnyc book is quite good too...

Books, maps, vouchers for bike shops?

Might just get a few training DVDs to help me out. Any DVD cycling experiences worth checking out? I'd rather have those than books as the only time I seem to read is on holiday.

I would be tempted, but I never look quite tired enough, or drink very small cups of coffee...
