Gift Ideas For The Bicycle Mechanic In Your Life
Gift shopping is a double edged sword for me. While getting someone that perfect present is satisfying, the aggravation in extensive searching, or even worse, the certainty that the recipient won’t appreciate it and will probably give it away next holiday season, can leave one feeling not so good. Hopefully these tips will save you some time and effort, at the same time providing the bike mechanic with something they’ll want.
I think shopping for the average bicycle mechanic may be easier than shopping for the average person. Typically bike mechanics are broke leaving lots of room for need and want in an industry that has excess gadgetry and changing technology.
