Welcome to the 2010 holiday shopping guide, brought to you by the moderators (and members) of Twospoke.com.

The companies and individual items listed are products and brands that we would buy and use ourselves. They're broken down into several categories, from the $20 and under "stocking stuffers", to the under $50 items, and then the $50 and up. There's something for everyone on your list. And if you know someone that is trying to find you the perfect gift, you can just point them to this thread.

****Please note that we'll be adding more items on a regular basis, so don't forget to check back to the first few posts often.****

Cheers, and happy holidays!

I agree with your assessment of Arundel bottle cages. I have a side-loader on my road bike with a sloping top tube which makes it hard to use a standard cage. Also would love to try out those wool socks some day. And a Road ID will be in the stocking for me and my wife this year.
