Christmas gift

It’s that time of year again, when you’ve got the chance to show that special cycling lady just how much she means to you. Whether you're skint or minted, traditional or avant garde and whatever type of cyclist she is, there’s something here that’ll float her boat, or rattle her pedals and keep you out of the dog house on Christmas Day.

The clocks are going back so it's now officially lights season on the bike. If you're in the market for some bike lights there's a bewildering array of lights out there to choose from, ranging from a few quid to nearly a grand, so what's the best bet for your riding?

To me, the best presents are sometimes those that I can't justify buying myself, the items of absolute luxury which could be considered way too expensive to treat yourself with, my other favourites are the little thoughtful things, the stocking fillers, the small gifts that are always a pleasant surprise.
