Next week is the offspring's birthday. I haven't an idea of what to get him. Well I do - he's been
hinting in a less than subtle way for a Dolan time trial bike and/or some carbon tri-spoke wheels.
It is apparent my offspring resides on Planet Zog... So, what to get him that isn't going to cost
an arm and a leg??? Inspiration guys - on what to get a cycling mad teenager??

He'd like that - not that he fancies Nicole Cooke, but he really does admire her as a cyclist. As a
mother, there is absolutely no female that is good enough for my boy, but perhaps she's better than
most. Not that I'm over-protective in any way you understand ;-)

Got a couple of books about the TdF... he's dipping in and out of the Obree book, the original Lance
book and also a couple of books on Tom Simpson.

Thanks for the ideas!

Cheers, helen s

He has that already.

So why write? "I have him well-trained - he doesn't like b*bs."

Sounds like you imposing your will on him.

Xpedia gift voucher? - www.xpedia.co.uk - "gifts for the non cyclist" (they mean this is what a non
cylist might give a cyclist although of course I know you are no NC Helen!).

I'll have a think for more ideas but it's difficult.
