Gift Ideas for Cyclists and Others

I biked to Copy King, wrapping up a Christmas letter, when I came upon this happy dude.  Surely he must be on Santa’s nice list!

Copy shops are a great place for inexpensive gifts!

The gift items below help support the long-term ecology-economy sustainability of our county.

1.  For a cyclist on Santa’s “nice” list:  Make a color copy of the HER Helmet Thursdays pocket guide, preferably on a lightweight card stock or heavyweight paper.  Click here to download the most current PDF as of 12-22-11.  The gift of your time: Put it in an envelope, with a note promising to bike with that nice cyclist to a HER Helmet Thursdays spot in the weeks ahead.

2.  For your favorite HER Helmet Thursdays venues:  As you wish them a prosperous New Year, here’s a way to help make that reality:  Make a few color copies of the “participant” signs,  then laminate them.  (Download them directly below; contact me with any questions.)  The gift of your time: Stop by a few of your favorite HER Helmet Thursdays participating venues with these, and offer this gift that will help attract new patrons to their business or organization.

3.  For your favorite bike shops, for other loved ones, or to share with those less fortunate: On the Posters, Weblinks, and Other Project Resources page, you’ll find a  special poster for bike shops that you can color copy and laminate for your favorite bike shop.  (Some have a Bicycling Monterey and/or HER Helmet Thursdays poster already, although they will likely appreciate having something fresh and new.)   Drop it off at the bike shop, and while you’re there, consider purchasing something for others on your Christmas list (or a gift card or other item for those in need).
