ideas for cyclists hampers

still on the hamper theme - what a truly great idea - I am doing one for DS2 and his partner, so far got muscle soak bubble bath. Don't want to get accessories or things like that as they are very particular about what they like for their bikes, more jokey stuff really, any ideas you creative folk out there?

what about some novelty plasters and maybe some antiseptic wipes.

Not really a joke but the Cancer Research Shop sells a bottle clip holder for £2 - v practical and for a good cause..

And for a joke - how about those cards that spin on your spokes? Love them

how about some "chaffing" cream?

Energy bars or sweets to nibble when they are out on a ride.
Fingerless gloves,the kind with padding over the palm.
Puncture outfit from poundland (you can never have too many patches).
Hand cleaning wipes for use after repairs.

pile cream and razors!?....................... I'll get my coat!

How about a tub of energy drink powder like Gatorade?

Some GT85 (like WD40) but more popular with cyclists.

What sort of cycling do they do? Road/Mountain/Touring? That would affect what you get them!

Some more thoughts...

If they're competitive cyclists, you could get them some embrocation.

Lights (cat-eye type)

And what about a novelty pizza cutter?!

Spokey dokes, they normally go on kids bikes!!

If they race then some safety pins for putting the numbers on!

Muck off for washing the bikes, bucket and sponge to go with it

There is a book with pubs and cycle routes.

I'll keep thinking!!

M

Stickers that go on the bike with their names on (they can be done tastefully or not!!)
