Luckily, we have prepared for just such a challenge by creating our Compare All Tours Matrix, more fully explained by Mo on our blog. The matrix can help you compare and contrast tours until you find your perfect match (or matches).So, start checking your mailboxes, girls and boys -- with our 56 amazing 2012 tours offered at 2011 prices, there has never been a better time to sign up!Photos courtesy of the tours department.

One of the things that amaze me about some cyclist is when I see them with out a saddle bag on there bike, of course they could have all the necessary kit some where else on there person but if you are a serious cyclist it would be hard for me to believe that you have never had a puncture or any other mechanical problem whilst commuting our out riding your bike, so then when the inevitable does happen how well prepared are you. Me and my son have nearly built a whole bike with not much more than a multi tool, so if you are new to the security of a while stocked saddle bag I hope this short post will help you. Most of the this points below I have gained by either experienceing said problems or witnessing things that can go wrong. With this comprehensive list all angles should be covered.Source: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Cyclingchatcouk/~3/tqVrAtcRwKw/
I always buy my friends these awesome tees from Dark Cycle Clothing on Etsy, and I'm hoping this is the year the favor gets returned! From alligators to zebras, you'll find all sorts of wild animals making their getaways by bike on brilliantly colored cotton shirts. Women's and men's cuts. $212. Pump It Up
With all that cycling we're doing we might find that that our pants are a little loose around the waist. That won't be a problem if we get a super-cool Distressed Cog Impression belt buckle from SkipLink Studios. Beautiful hand-hammered copper, meticulously made in Jackson, Wyoming. $85.4. See Through
I've always been a huge fan of Ortlieb's Panniers, Handlebar Bags, and Messenger Bags, and their catalog just keeps getting better. This year I'd love to have their Dry Bag With Window for both bike and backpacking trips. It would eliminate the frustration of feeling around blindly for my socks once and for all! $27.50-$38.505. The Big Ask
I was lucky enough to check out the Tout Terrain Silkroad on a recent Baja bike tour, and I would love nothing more than to add this lightweight adventure bike to my quiver. With an integrated rear rack, ultra-tough wheels, and pleasant, upright handling, this steel bicycle will tackle any rugged situation you throw its way.Remember when you're ordering your gifts online to order early enough to ensure that your presents arrive on time.
