A Hope Vision 1 (amazing light)
and an Ipod shuffle, which I plan to listen to (one ear) on the way to work.

love the light...

 

[BrumJim]

Pair of Altura Night Vision waterproof trousers. First step to (almost) all-weather cycling.

Gave my sister a list of bike-related stuff that I wanted, and she got me a bag for growing herbs on your patio (not enough space and too many herb pots already) and a cookbook based on vegetables (most recipes contain meat, and my wife is a vegetarian, and I have started to cook my own dishes over the last couple of years, so need cookbooks less now).

Oh, well.

On Christmas Day I got the January issue of Cycling + with the free buff. I thought that was it , but today I got a late present , a workstand !

Completely unexpected. What a great present.

My Library

 

[Headgardener]

Havn't got it yet as brothers computer went belly up about two weeks before Christmas so now it will be 50th birthday prezzy instead, and that is a magnetic toolshelf for my EBC workstand. Then I won't keep forgetting where I have put the bike tool that I had in my hand a moment ago .

 

[Mike A]

Ergon GC3 grips with integrated bar ends - very flash
and...
a set of SKS Chromoplastic mudguards.

As for the latter, I was thinking they would be winter fit only, but having spent umpteen hours fitting them due to instructions that omit all the critical bits, screws that are too short and clearances that are too tight... I think I might just leave them on...

 

[Zippy]

Nothing - unless you count all the mince pies as fuel for the year!

Yes, been there!! Loved the line on the packaging..... "fits in minutes". True; about 180 of them !

 

[Matthames]

I didn't get any bike related presents, however I did get some money from relatives which is now earmarked for a nice set of rear panniers for touring.

 

[CharlieB]

Wiggo's biog, too (loads of those about).
