Hannukah/Kwannzah/Festivus/.../December cycling related gifts
For those of us who aren't celebrating x-mas but are doing gifts for December or January holidays or no holidays or whatever. What are people hoping to get or getting themselves.
I might be picking up a Panasonic made Bruce Gordon Designed Hikari Touring Bike I simply don't need but more than likely will be getting myself a frame pump and possibly a custom bag for it if the B-Rad won't fit it because I want something for my main commuter with big tires but want to keep it out of the elements without taking up room in my rando bag.
More than likely:https://www.topeak.com/global/en/pro...MOUNTAIN-MORPH but I may go with the mini morph.
I guess I also got a new laptop to replace my 11-12 year old one and I am currently using it to peruse bike forums so cycling related?

I'd like a new Festivus pole.
I'd also like a BB gun, but my dad says I'll probably shoot my eye out with it.

All three of my kids are getting derailleur bikes. The 8.5yo is getting a 24", probably about six months late. The giant nearly-6yo boy, who is now well over 50in tall, is getting a 24" too, perhaps a little early. His regular sized sister is getting a 20.
I figured at one point I'd buy one bike at each size every 2 years or so and hand it down, but the smallest one has the highest skill level and her twin is just immense for his age. In bike-size-age he's two years taller than her and only 1 year-size behind his 2.5 years older bro. but she needs better bikes than he does
The third bike came today. Somehow I gotta make time to build three bikes before next Sunday, and keep them hidden til then, while the kids are all three home from school the whole week

Meet me at spin class!!!!
DD got herself biking gloves. I got a new bike tank from Terry. Maybe I will start my own thread, New Year, New Gear. Too bad we don't have a "clothes" forum.
