As far as we’re concerned, riding a bicycle to work is the single best thing about having a job. Here are a few ideas for the bicycle commuter on your holiday list.
Zeal Big Timber Sunglasses
Our Sunglasses of the Year, the Big Timber automatically changes tint and darkness based on light conditions. Rubberized nose and temples keep them in place on the ride, and they’re not too sporty to wear to the tap room. With plant-based (castor bean) frames, Zeal also happens to be one of the most environmentally friendly sunglass brands on the market.
Action Wipes
No shower, no problem! One of the top excuses for not commuting is no shower at the office. Action Wipes eliminate this excuse. These durable, reusable, natural wipes are designed for a quick full body wipe down. Rinse it off and use it again for bike cleaning duty. Makes for perfect stocking stuffers for any active, outdoor enthusiast!
