‘Tis the season for “listicles” of gift ideas for cyclists from every publication from Bicycling Magazine to Good Housekeeping looking to sell you something or make a buck through affiliate links.
Steve and Kristin go through lists from several, discussing why some seemingly obvious choices actually make for terrible gifts (unless you KNOW it’s what someone wants), as well as share some of their favorites as well as those from the STBG Cycling Team.
We also discuss feedback received on a recent clip about ebikes ruining mountain biking, and share news from the Shop including new waterbottles and the new Spider from Intense.
