12 Days of Christmas Gifting
Twelve Shopping Days Left (!), Twelve Gift Ideas
Do your current shopping ideas involve an orchestra of pipers piping, more golden rings than one person needs, or entirely too many birds? 

You're in luck--the Towpath Bike 2015 Holiday Gift Guide is here (and we even have some great sales on trainers and attire)! Stop by the shop and find the perfect present for your favorite cyclist.
The Gift of an Endless Riding Season
When shopping for cycling enthusiasts big AND small, nothing really tops a shiny new bike with a bow. And this year's hottest gift involves extra-wide tires, dramatically extending both riding season and bikeable terrain. Check out our full selection of fat bikes from Felt and Trek, then join us for a winter of shop rides
The Gift of Indoor Fitness
We get it, not everyone wants to ride outside once the snow decides to come. Keep your fitness on track through the short days and cold temperatures with an indoor trainer from CycleOps.

Let's make this an easier shopping decision--we have all our trainers on sale until Christmas! Drop by and let our expert sales staff set you up with the best trainer for your indoor cycling needs.
The Gift of Warmth
On the bike or off, our selection of cold-weather gear will keep you comfortable through whatever winter conjures up. Check out our Baabaa Merino gift packs from Endura, our cycling gloves and bar mitts, and our variety of men's and women's jackets, tights, and accessories.

This is also an easy shopping decision--we've got all our winter gear at 10% off for the holidays!
The Gift of Cool
If you train inside (or are just looking for a great deal on lighter-weight riding clothes for next season), check out our huge discount on all summer clothing, including shorts! We have terrific options from Bontrager, Endura, and Louis Garneau, all for 20% off. Our racks are stuffed with great deals for both men and women, so stop by and see what's in stock!
The Gift of Technology
Train with Garmin and watch your fitness level skyrocket! We carry the latest triathlon and bike computers (including the Edge 520 and Forerunner 920XT) as well as the brand-new Varia, a rearview cycling radar that increases both driver and rider awareness. 

We also have a small selection of previous-generation model Garmins priced to move; stop by and see!
The Gift of Hydration
Many mountain bikers and touring riders love hydration packs--with the ability to carry 1-3 liters of water AND your tools/wallet/phone, an Osprey is a great gifting alternative to the partridge in a pear tree.

Not only are Osprey packs made of the highest quality materials, they come with the All Mighty Guarantee which is good for life. They also look awesome under the tree, so come grab one before they're gone!
The Gift of Practical Necessity
While a flat repair kit may not be the most FUN gift, it certainly in contention for the most useful! Outfit your cyclist with the 5 Golden Rings of the repair kit (tire levers, patch kit, inflation device, spare tube, and multi-tool) and an under-the-seat bag for storing it all. Even if he/she doesn't know how to fix the issue, cyclists are a friendly group and as long as you have everything you need, someone will help (you can take one of our free flat clinics and/or sign up for the in-depth Park Tool School).
The Gift of Safety
As people become more and more distracted, making yourself as visible as possible goes a long, LONG way to staying safe on the bike. It's not just drivers who aren't paying attention--oblivious canal path users can create hazardous situations and lights help grab attention.

Be seen with Flare R, the first taillight designed specifically for daylight use (it's awesomely bright for night as well!). And our Ion 700 headlight outshines Rudolph's nose, ensuring your visibility in all riding conditions (especially a foggy Christmas Eve).

Stop by for the perfect stocking stuffer (and be sure to check out the basket of clearance lights at the register!)
The Gift of Healthy Vision
No matter the cycling genre, glasses are essential for protecting eyes from both UV rays and random dust, debris, and bugs. Check out our incredibly versatile Tifosi line! Some have sets of three easy-to-change lenses (perfect for mountain bikers AND anyone riding in the changeable Rochester weather) and some use Fototec technology to darken/lighten with changing sun conditions, so you're sure to find the perfect shades for any riding conditions your gift recipient encounters.
The Gift of Nutrition
Santa already gets a huge quantity of cookies and milk; this year leave him the proper fuel for his big event! 

Bonk Breakers, Gu, and Honey Stingers make great stocking stuffers too; stop by and give your special athlete a variety of tasty items to fuel his or her training.
The Gift of DIY Maintenance
Our Park Tool School is a terrific way to gain hands-on knowledge of bicycle maintenance and repair. Purchase a comprehensive class and learn how to properly repair and tune up your ride. All makes, models, and styles of bicycles are welcome, and all students receive Park Tool's Big Blue Book of Bicycle Repair, a Park SK-1 Tool Kit, 15% discount on all parts and accessories, and breakfast/lunch.
The Gift of Choice
Not sure what to get for the cyclist in your life? A gift card to Towpath Bike is always a great idea and makes a perfect stocking stuffer. We can set these up in any amount, making them perfect for those surprises that require individual fitting, such as helmets, clothing, and bicycles!
