Fyxation have come to the rescue with their full grain leather beer caddy, which securely fastens to your top tube and seat tube, offering a secure and hands free way to deliver your precious cargo. Now available with an adjustable top strap, the six pack caddy fits top tubes with up to a 1.75" diameter. Made in Wisconsin, USA, the six pack caddy is the perfect companion for a big night out.

For something even more personal, this chamois crème will ensure the comfort and longevity of the undercarriage of that special cyclist in your life. Simply apply a small dab of crème on the chamois of your bike shorts and it will be smooth sailing all the way home. Everybody wins.

Specialized S-Works Tarmac - $9,500 USD
Let’s face it, this is probably not going to happen. But on the off chance that you or somebody close to you has just come into a whole heap of cash, the new Tarmac, available in men’s- and women’s-specific models, should go on the shopping list. Despite having wins in every Grand Tour and two world championships with last year’s version, the team at Specialized found a way to reduce the weight of the new model by a staggering 20%, virtually guaranteeing a PR on your local hill climb. It comes ready to race with Shimano's new Dura-Ace 9150 Di2 groupset with direct mount brakes, and the lightweight, yet impressively aerodynamic, Roval CLX 50 wheels with 26mm Turbo Cotton tires. Hey, there’s no harm in asking...

'The Hardmen - Legends of the Cycling Gods' by Velominati - $27.95 USD
On those days when it’s too cold – or too hot – to be out riding, the next best option is to chill out with a book. More specifically, The Hardmen - Legends of the Cycling Gods, published by The Velominati. This book focuses on 36 of cycling's hardest men and women, and rather than dealing with everything that rider achieved, it covers the one defining moment when they implemented Cycling Rule #5: “Harden The F*^% Up.”
Topeak Ninja CO2+ - $49.95
Sufficiently motivated after reading about cycling’s toughest riders, your own neo-pro hits the road and promptly punctures. No stress – the Topeak Ninja is here! Topeak’s Ninja CO2+ is a water bottle cage with an inflator kit holder, complete with two 16 g CO2 cartridges and Topeak's own Micro AirBooster inflator fixed to the bottom. Two tire levers are attached to the side of the bottle cage, too. Clever.
GoPro Hero5 Session - $149.99 USD
Every rider loves to brag about their epic rides. Let them bore you with video rather than words by giving them the GoPro Hero5 Session. With 4K video, voice control and a little blinking light to let users know it's rolling, plus the single press of a button to turn it on and start recording, it’s pretty much foolproof.
Craft Active Extreme 2.0 CN Long Sleeve Baselayer
Sweat happens when you ride a bike fast, and if you sweat you need a base layer that can handle it.

Regardless of the weather, these Rudy Project Fotonyk glasses are perfect for riding at any time of the year thanks to their photochromic lenses that change from clear to dark in reaction to lighting levels.
