It depends on what type of bike he's got but how about a new pair of tyres.

Good idea , but I have no idea of type and no time to find out . Would the likes of say Halfords have suitable gift vouchers or does it have to be a specialised store. thank you

If he's in your neck of the woods, I'd suggest a solid pairs of walking shoes would be more appropriate for the next few months!

Gift vouchers are the easy, but probably more practical choice.

Gift voucher but from a proper cycle shop not halfords. Most keen cyclists won't touch halfords.

I do a lot of cycling and if he is serious about it he will pretty much have all the gear he needs. So as others have said, vouchers could be a good option.

Evans cycles in Glasgow or chain reaction on the net. Both have decent stock.

Cheers mate that's a plan.:thup:

Dales in Glasgow pretty special as well http://www.dalescycles.com/

can you ask his missus where he bought the bike from as that would be the perfect place to get gift vouchers if he already rates them

Quite a few Boardmans to be seen under "keen cyclists" these days...

For something slightly different how about a pair of cufflinks shaped like a chain link...
Got some for one of my lads a while back and he was well pleased [actually uses them as well]...

I must admit that I haven't seen any club cyclists around here using Boardman road bikes but I think they look a decent bike to be honest.

Thanks for all your suggestions guys, I took the easy option and got a voucher from Evans, if he doesn't like he can get on his bike.
