Cycling gift ideas for all budgets
We listed 3 prospective cycling gifts for you to consider this year. All three of them would make the day of any cycling friend or family member. Or even their week, month, or year! And they cover various budgets, from around R500+, to a midrange closer to 2999; and a grand cycling spectacular gift idea for bigger budgets, because they are worth it. Lets start from the top:
Cycling gift idea #1: Race entry to the TOURDEBOLAND
What is the Tourdeboland? A weeklong cycle tour through the heart of the Boland during the week prior to the Cape Town Cycle Tour. We circumnavigate the Boland, starting from Cape Town and heading the long way around to finish in Stellenbosch. En route we enjoy the company of each other and cycle in groups at different speeds, each under the watchful eye of your group ride captain.
Afterwards we share drinks and snacks at the finish line, relax and explore in the afternoons through the winelands. And get together at the end of the day to poke fun, drink wine, have a group dinner, discuss what tomorrow might bring, and share in joyful banter. No medals, no timing chips, just pure cycling fun. Inbound cyclotourism at its very best. Have a look at what is in store for the route this year.
Cycling gift idea #2: Bicycle transport VOUCHER
Easily and conveniently send your bicycle from point A to B anywhere in the country. Perfect from your door to the start line of the next race, big or small. Or on to your next tour, including the Tourdeboland above. Or when buying or selling a bicycle, sent from the seller to the buyer. Best of all, we can assist with boxing through our network of service providers. The easiest way is for you to drop off the bicycle at your nearest bicycle shop, they box, and we collect when ready.
How to book your bicycle couriers transport voucher: just contact us and ask for a voucher; or check out online and state VOUCHER in the to/from/details field. As easy as pie. No, as easy as sending your bicycle!
Cycling gift idea #3: The Ultimate BIKEBOX
EUROBIKE startup award winner! And for good reason: This bikebox is clever, lightweight, waterproof, folds flat, reusable and pretty much just the best darn bikebox I have come across in my many years as a cyclist touring our beautiful planet. What I like most about this box is the weight: many other bikeboxes start off at 13kg+ without anything inside, which means the moment you first in just your bicycle you might already be close to or exceed the airline’s weight limit and incur a penalty.
Not with the bikebox! At around 6kgs empty it is one of the if not the lightest bikebox around. Which allows you to load up plenty before you get to the circa 23kg weight limit. Now you can throw in some kit as well. Check out all the other great reasons why you should fit this bikebox in someone’s (may your own) Christmas stocking this year:
