Buying a present is always a challenging task.What sort of gift do you buy for a friend or loved one, and how do you know if they would like it?
If anyone you know at home or work is a mountain biker, you should consider getting them a mountain bike themed gift. This is not to say that you should buy them a new mountain bike or bike helmet, unless you know their specific preferences. There are lots of presents out there that are ‘safe’ choices, and mountain biking fans are sure to love them!
