Any cyclists out there?

I need advice, I'm planning my Christmas gift for my boyfriend, but I need some guidance. He's really big on cycling (both road and mountain) so I figured I'd create a cycling gift basket (kinda). I wanna get him a tour bag http://www.performancebike.com/shop/prof… and fill it with little things that he'll need during his rides. Maybe things he wouldn't really get himself but would be handy or things he runs out of frequently. Is the bag a good idea? and what kind of things would you suggest to fill it with?

I agree with Sam, since clothing is really tough to buy for someone else. Here's my stocking stuffer wish list: CO2 canister and cartridges (he can use two if he mountain and road bikes) GU or Shot Blocks--snoop around and see if you can find the kind he likes Gatorade or other drink mix Tubes Chain lube and a plastic chain cleaner thingie (yes, I'm a girl) A new chain (a nice one!) Bag Balm (available at drugstores...kind of a gag, but maybe not) Sun screen Lip stuff Allen wrench cool tool Pedros tire levers--hard to break If he rides during the winter, I suggest a Pearl Izumi skull cap for under his helmet. One size fits all and can be used for skiing and other sports. My huzbin and I both have them and love them! Lightweight shoe covers--neoprene can be too hot, I'd stay away from that. Check with the guys and gals at your local store, too. They'll be able to help.
