Accessories?

Question

My bf's birthday is coming up.

He recently bought a road bike, and starts to get really hardcore into it, nothing makes him feel better than taking that bike out for a long ride.

SO for his birthday i wanted to give him something that he can use on his bike, some cool bike part/accessory he'd appreciate. Idk anything about bikes though, so any suggestion? What could he possibly want to have?

Answer 2

I reckon a cycle computer would be the perfect gift.

If you really want to splash out, look for one with a heart rate monitor and can measure 'cadence'

Answer 3

A basic cyclocomputer or a heart rate monitor.

Cateye makes good cyclocomputers.  Click on the link, and click through what's available.
