The holidays are fast approaching and trust us \u2013 you don\u2019t want to wait until a week before Christmas to get your gift shopping sorted. Maybe you\u2019ve got a woman on your holiday list that loves to ride? Even if a new bike or kit are not exactly within your budget, you can still give her something memorable with one of these cycling-themed gift ideas for women.<\/strong><\/p>\n

ROAR by Stacy Sims<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Many books and articles about cycling are written with a standard approach to both genders. Although there is much training advice that can apply to a wide audience, it also means that female-specific issues are frequently neglected. The premise of\u00a0ROAR\u00a0is that women are not small men \u2013 and therefore should not necessarily train or eat like them. Women have different bodies, hormones, and much more. Sims thus argues that women should work with their female physiology to optimize fuelling, strength, and overall performance. This is a great gift for any woman athlete looking to improve her skills and feel good doing it. The language is accessible, and although much of the advice is practical, many of the conclusions she draws are quite revelatory.<\/p>\n

VeloVixen padded cycling knickers<\/strong><\/h2>\n

These are a fantastic gift for women who like to ride comfortably<\/a> in \u201cnormal\u201d clothes. Despite the increasing availability of clothes that can easily make the transition from bike to office, it can still be tricky to try to hide a pair of shorts underneath, or deal with the situation of wearing standard underwear and finding the saddle a bit, well, firm. These padded undergarments are just the thing she needs, they provide welcome padding without the bulk of shorts. They\u2019re available in neutral designs or funky ones, so you can get a pair for all your riding pals.<\/p>\n
