I've always thought that this was probably the one product in the whole bike accessories marketplace that any cyclist would be happy to receive as a gift, no matter what they ride, already own, etc..., but I was hesitant to recommend it to non-bikers as a gift for their biker friends because it seemed like so much money for such a simple, if flawless, product. $55 is a lot less for a gift in people's minds than $68Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-77763461887702763042009-02-04T14:48:00.000-05:002009-02-04T14:48:00.000-05:00That looks like a fine lunch :-)That looks like a fine lunch :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
