40th Birthday Present

badgerbeaver

What do you buy a cyclist for his 40th birthday, say anything up to £150?

Some points to consider:

No team replica jerseys (only wears cycling club jerseys).

Something a bit special, maybe durable, memorable.

Would be interested in your thoughts.

That's a great idea.
Not just because I like wine but a 49th is a gift to remember so chose something he will hand into forever either in material or memory.
I tend to choose watches for 40th gifts but love the corkscrew idea.

thanks guys - good ideas

going along the lines of the Campag corkscrew seems like a good shout, anything else along those lines?

My wonderful other half has got me a taster session at the Manc Velodrome for my next birthday (I'll not see 40 again, so not as significant).

Coupled with a night at a swanky hotel, might be worth considering?

I've never been on the track in a velodrome before, so really chuffed with this myself.

A load of tune kit, beautifully made, very special and you'll rarely buy it for yourself.

It wouldn't be tangible, but a bike fit could be one idea. Others are bike-related jewellery, such as cufflinks etc. This is one of the first sites I Googled and I have no connection with them: http://www.cyclingjewellery.com/
