I received several pairs of nice thick wigwam wool socks and a fleece pull over. They will be welcome additions as the temps continue to drop!

I got thick wool Wigwams last year. They're so nice! I don't ride in the rain without them.

I have the very same stand. I like it a lot, makes working on the bike so much easier.

Waterproof pants, super warm socks, and a dry bag for those slushly/rainy commuting days.

No. Not mandatory for discs. I just don't happen to like brifters, but hate having to reach down for bar end or down tube shifters. Retroshifters, for me at least, are the best of both worlds. Very simple. Very durable. Very easy to use. Totally convenient to shift with. It's a no-hassle solution to shifting. I love my Retroshifters with all of my heart, mind and soul. If a product can possible be perfect, these shifters are that product. I honestly can't imagine ever using anything else. They spoil you.

Brave Soldier Road Rash Kit. Coulda used it this fall. Bike dropped out from under me in the rain cornering on crosswalk paint. Two weeks later riding home in the dark on a frozen dirt road I got into a rut that grabbed the front wheel and threw me to the ground, fortunately on the other side. Have matching scars. Now that I've got the kit I won't crash again for years.

Wife and I got a Cygolite Hotshot rear light, not much of a surprise since I ordered them. Gave the in-laws a headlight/rear light set (Bontrager Ion2 and Flare3) .

MEC Helmet cover, MEC gaiters (to keep my pants out of the chain and my feet drier), skull cap and a blinky: very happy!
