Father’s Day is just round the corner…
As Father’s Day is fast approaching you may be stumped on what to get in order to show your appreciation to your dad this year. Apart from going on a ride together on June 21st, these eight gifts are a great way to show your dad how much you care and make his next ride even better!
We know this job often falls to mum, so mums out there, if your husband happens to be a fan of cycling or mountain biking, then LIOS can help you grab a great gift that will leave you and the kids being firmly in the ‘good books’.
Like many of us do every year, don’t leave it to the last minute to be frantically rushing around looking to buy a card and gift, ending up coming home with yet another “World’s best dad mug” for him to put in the cupboard to never be seen again. With a bit of forward thinking and planning, you can get him a great gift that he truly deserves for another year of him being a great guy.
Check out our list of thoughtful, but affordable presents below, which all feature on our website!
Topeak Rescue Box - £4.99
This handy compact kit is a great gift for any dad who is into road cycling. The Topeak Rescue Box gives you everything you need to fix a puncture on the go and save you from an embarrassing phone call or a very long walk. Its small and compact, making it easy to carry with you and comes in two colours, silver and black. This handy gift comes with a small price tag of only £4.99 and could save dad from being in a whole heap of trouble!
Topeak X-Tool+ Multi Tool - £12.99
The Topeak X-Tool+ is a useful and sturdy piece of kit that your dad is sure to love! Its capable of handling most jobs with ease and is good value too! It includes the usual Allen key sizes – 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8mm – a Phillips head screwdriver and a Torx head, so will easily cover most tweaks out on the road or trails.
Knog Frog Strobe Twinpack Lights - £18.99
These Knog Frog Strobe Lights are small but mighty and will make sure dad is always seen, no matter what time of the day he chooses to ride. The set is water resistant and comes with 4 light modes including a constant light, strobe flash, disco strobe and random strobe flash. They also come with an integrated clipping feature and quick-release mounting, as well as 50 (constant) to 80 (flashing) hours running time.
Topeak Joeblow Max HP Pump - £31.99
This affordable floor pump comes with features that you would expect to find on a more expensive pump, but without the hefty price tag. The double-sided twin head fits all valve types meaning it's perfect for dads who love road cycling or mountain biking and its heavy-duty construction will provide years of service. It’s capable of inflating tyres up to 160 PSI or 11 bar, so will be perfect for anything your dad may need.
Fox Flexair Elevated Gloves - £35.00
This one’s for all the mountain biker dads out there! Feel the bars like never before with these Fox Flexair Elevated Gloves, which come with an expectational fit and lightweight feel. The stretch mesh finger gussets (the fabric between your fingers) increases flexibility as well as helps channel air through the glove for superior comfort. The Flexair glove also features a conductive thread on the thumb and index finger, so you can use your phone without removing your gloves (bonus!). Featuring two colours, black and yellow, take your pick and surprise your dad with this handy gift (see what we did there…).
Fox Flight Sport Helmet - £40.00
The Flight Sport helmet is the model of the entry level class of the new Fox Urban/BMX/Dirt Jump helmets for the cool dads out there (or at least those that still think they are cool!...haha). A single EPS layer thickness combined with the proven hard ABS outer shell will give your dad the necessary self-confidence to perform all sorts of stunts and tricks…or for popping to the shops on his bike! This lightweight helmet also features a thermally sealed comfort liner for flawless design and a comfortable carrying feel, perfect for any ride.
Fox Ranger Long Sleeve Jersey - £55.00
Coming in both black and blue this jersey provides both style and performance that works on and off the bike. The Ranger Drirelease Jersey has a soft feel and relaxed fit which conceals advanced moisture wicking technology, so will keep you comfortable on the trail while providing the feel of your favourite top. The jersey wicks sweat, dries quickly and prevents odour, so you can take a ride on your lunch break and get away with it - two outfits in one?! Dad will definitely be thanking you for that one!
Gift Vouchers
If you are still struggling on a gift idea for your dad and none of the above fit the bill, then why not consider getting him a gift card. We have plenty to choose from general gift vouchers ranging from £10- £50 so dad can choose his own gift, or you can treat him to a bike service or bike fitting voucher.
Our bike service vouchers come in Bronze (£45), Sliver (£85) and Gold (£125) and are great for giving dad's bike a thorough once over, plus much more depending on your package. We also offer bike fitting vouchers which include a Cleat fitting (£25), Bike fit (£120) and Full 3D Motion Analysis Bike Fit (£200). These are all great options for a father’s gift with a twist! For more details please check out our ‘Bike fitting’ or ‘Servicing’ section.
Finally, we have a full gift guide split into price points, so you can really have a good dig around and find that perfect present.
Whatever gift you decide to go for this year, we are sure that it will be highly appreciated and from everyone here at LIOS, we hope you all have a great day!
