Uh oh, I can't think of any cycling doodads to buy over the winter

I'm not a fan of doodads. I like thingamabobs and whachamacallits better, but my favorite is a chingadera.

Most of you folks are planning what you can do to while away the hours when the snow falls. This Summer was so hot here in southern Arizona that if you weren't out the door riding by 6AM you'd be cooked by 10! Although we manage to get our miles in, Summer is not our prime riding season.
As winter approaches, now is the time to ride here, anytime during these beautiful days!

So I move to Portland, where we combine the bad weather with the short days, like it should be.

For the past 7 or 8 years, I've been able to think of a cycling "toy" I wanted to buy over the winter to play with or upgrade the bike(s) with - Kickr trainer, Wahoo Roam, Zwift, upgrade bags or seat or shoes, switch to SPD-SL cleats, move to GP-5000 tires, and last year the Varia radar/taillight.
This year the only thing i can think of is maybe some cushier bar tape on my road bike. My credit card company will issue a fraud alert for lack of use over the winter...

This thread is entertainment. I told my wife about this thread, an she got alarmed and thought I was serious, misinterpreting what I said, and thought I was certified nuts by the look on her face.
Luckily my wife rides as well.
My suggestion is to buy ride food. It's a consumable and there is a wide variety of stuff we all could eat and haven't eaten yet. And if there's ever a disaster, ride food will be something good to have around.
We find it very convenient to have a ready supply of ride food to not only encourage plenty of long rides and bike camping trips, but it also makes those ridesore enjoyable to have the food we enjoy at the incredible scenic spots we stop at to refuel.
