TC's Personal Shopping just for you!

Hi Everyone

Tis the season to be jolly!

I love shopping for myself and others. It is much more fun shopping if you know what you are buying, with the help of a few friends I have  compiled a list of 21 items for you. They will all make good Christmas gifts for people who love cycling. I own most of these items so can personally recommend them and those that I don't have, I would like to have! :-)

Happy Tango Shopping!

TC's Best Buy Recommendation!

I've always deflated my tyre when pumping it up UNTIL I bought one of these! You can use it as a foot pump, much easier for us girls to pump pressing down than to try and hold in place and pump side ways.

Maybe a bit clunky for roadie weight weenies, but you will achieve much higher tyre pressure than any other handpump.
