The ULTIMATE Cyclist’s Gift Guide
Ultimate Gift Guide: Luxury
The top five most shallow, meant to impress, never really needed items that any nearly profunctional cyclist would ever want.
If only they knew someone that could offer more then just bro deals on acid-wash Jeans from Rock Racing.
Flurry Alarm Clock – AMBIENT DEVICES – 80$

Guaranteed to inform and prepare every a cyclist for just about any olde meteorological thing, or at least allow for the option to slap and snooze. Obviously the flurry will assist in predetermining chamois selection but the warm glow of its overbearing display will offer a nocturnally continuous feed of simulated vitamin d.
Skull Badge – MISFIT PSYCLES – 29$

Forged and formed of nearly pure jewelry grade class a brass and available in a choice of silver or brass flavored anodizing. Two sizes accommodate either aluminum and steel headtubes, designed to be oh so versatile, even a Niner would look better with a skull.
Probably not the red ones. Or the orange ones. Not the plastic one. Well maybe if they spent tens of thousands on a glossy brochure and beat the living shite out of it…then it would look buyable. Better.
InPulse Blackberry Watch – ALLERTA INC – 129$

It looks pretty much awesome. I do not need it. I will never USE it. And most cyclists will be the same, but, it is the kind of device that is totally justifiable.
Sometimes, work gets in the way of life.
Possibly, perhaps, carrying an illuminated reminder (a veritable technological rosary) of what they are getting paid to do is enough to ease the guilt your cyclical friend feels while they actually do what’s so much more important.
Home Made Multi-Bike Stand – MCCOY CO – 30$+-

Not exotic enough? Not luxurious enough? Think again. With their new, as long as they want it to be, bike stand they can create enough storage space to justify as many bikes as their shrivelled black heart desires…in one word truehappiness.
As an added ‘no purchase necessary’ bonus the McCoy Bracket Company uses a musical loop on their site that, when multiple windows are opened, sets an incredible backdrop for their soon to be rave of construction. Try it with a Red Bull.
SVT AT76 – TSOVET TIME – 575$

Airplanes. Bicycles. Seperated by the state of North Carolina. Buy the cyclist in your life a watch that doesn’t scream “I may be a self-absorbed performance obsessed skinny armed weakling but I know my resting HR and lactic threshold at altitude!?”. Do it for them.
Or for me.
Send one to Misfit Psycles Inc. 328 Dingle Ct Bolton, ON CANADA L7E 4T1.
