What to get? Christmas shopping often drives me crazy, because of that \”what to get\” question.

What would this or that person want; and where can I get it? As a complicating factor, I need to choose gifts that are small in size, and not too heavy; and thus easy to ship. If you don\’t have to worry about shipping packages halfway across the USA, things might be easier.

Do you have a little one who wants to ride? For a very young child, a balance bike might fit the bill. Do not, of course, forget the helmet! If mom and dad want to go walking; but the little one can\’t keep up; a Steer and Stroll Trike

Steer and Stroll Trike

is a possibility. There\’s even headgear for kids as young as one year.

For older kids, there\’s this bike. It\’s called a \”boys\” bike; but I see no reason why girls can\’t use it, too. There are baskets to put on the handlebars; and — of course — helmets.

For a way to take along a young \’un by bicycle, there\’s a bicycle-mounted child seat; or, if you think that will cause problems with your balance, there\’s the trailer.

What about gifts for the adult cyclist? I\’m not buying for a cyclist, aside from myself; and my budget won\’t let me give bicycles as gifts. But there are more modest possibilities, such as books. That reminds me: maybe your youngster would enjoy a Bayou Country story!

As usual, I don\’t know what I want for Xmas; at least, not from the material standpoint. I want good weather for a ride; but I want that every day, not only on December 25!

I did most of my Xmas shopping yesterday; but it felt awkward. I didn\’t know what to get!
