Cycle and Style has one last little contest before the Christmas holidays. We have an assortment of some great products that a cyclist or triathlete would appreciate–and they are all the perfect size to fit in a stocking! This assortment of stocking stuffers is packaged up and ready to be sent to one of Cycle & Style’s readers just in time for Christmas. It’s a gift for you or that endurance athlete on your Christmas list. Enter this easy-as-pie contest by making any type of comment below (with a legit e-mail.) Contest will only last a few shorts days (the last day to enter will be December 20th!)
This is a fun way to spread the Christmas cheer to those you ride and train with. These “Triathlon Santa Claus” cards are absolutely unique and perfect for the passionate triathletes! They are made by WHOOHA (which stands for “Women Having Optimistic Objectives & Healthy Attitudes”) a great women-owned company with some great gear: t-shirts and bags with fun sayings and graphics for those who “like to play hard:” cyclists, runners, swimmers, triathletes and more.
Hydrapak’s Gel Bot gives a cyclist or triathlete both water and gel in one easy-to-use bottle. You can use it with one hand, so it’s usable on the bike and in races! It is a cool product because you won’t be struggling to pull energy gels from your back jersey pocket, tearing them open with your teeth and wondering what to do with the leftover sticky energy gel bags. You don’t even have to slow your pedaling or lose focus on the road ahead and the cylists around you. If you’re not sure how it works, check out Hydrapak’s how-to video at the bottom of this article.
Another great little product from Hydrapak is the Softflask for energy gels. This is the perfect thing for endurance athletes. It holds 5 ounces of gel and the soft flexibility of the flask means you can get out every last drop.
There are times when you feel like you’ve spent way too much time in the saddle–and the results can be painful.
DZNuts has a product just for women that is appropriately named “Bliss.” It’s a pro-grade of chamois cream; it’s anti-bacterial, anti-imflammatory, anti-chaffing, helps heal existing saddle sores and wounds and doesn’t tingle like the guys’ chamois cream.
CLIF Bar has some bars that are appropriate for the holiday time: Spiced Pumpkin Pie, Iced Gingerbread and Cranberry Nut Bread. The “stocking stuffer” package will have two of these bars. If you like these seasonal flavors, stock up now, they will soon be gone, not to reappear until next holiday season!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Cycle & Style!
This short how-to video is the best way to show how the Gel-Bot from HydraPak works.
HO! HO! HO! Those would stuff my stocking beautifully!!!! Happy Holidays!!!
Great stuffers!!!!! Would love to win some. Thanks for all the great info you give all year!!
Cool Stuff! been wondering about the chamois cream since I have been riding more and recently got chaffed pretty bad.
Good luck to everyone!
This gift basket looks awesome! All of them are such goodies and the DZNuts Chamois cream totally caught my eye. Love DZ! Have his sticker up in my cube that says ‘dznuts, protect your junk’. Would love to try the female chamois cream.
Thanks for putting this together!

What a great round-up! I have a triathlete friend who would love all of this (but I might have to bust in & steal the chamois cream. Shhhh, don’t tell her).
Retweeting your message too.

You can never have too much bike gear!! That’s what I always say!
Season’s Greetings!!
What an assortment! I would use the softflask to apply DZbliss to my chamois in the middle of one of those 12 hour MTB races!
Happy Holidays! Love the holiday Clif bars! They would be a great treat while I’m bicycling to Joshua Tree!
DZ nuts is the only way to lube your chesnuts over the holiday season and any other season for that matter. Maybe your season be merry and may your stockings stuffed DZ nuts!
I know someone that could use this gear……….. make it my happy holiday!
I’d be a happy cyclist to receive any of these.
Those are some awesome stocking stuffers! I love the cards!
Great stuff, great site! Happy Holidays
Some good looking stuff there. I bought a couple of the holiday Clif bar flavors, but haven’t yet tried them. I’ll probably break them out on the long post-finals ride my friends and I are planning later this week!
These look great! I am starting to train for my first century taking place next summer… so excited!
Merry Christmas and happy cycling in 2011!
This assortment is terrific, but that GelBot in particular blows my mind. Whoever receives this special stocking stuff will definitely have happy holidays… and some happy biking!
I have many friends and family who enjoy all three sports and would love some stocking stuffers! How cool is the water bottle that holds gel and water!!!
