Spare cash to spend on cycling

[vernon]

As a consequence of finding an uncashed cheque for £110 refunding dental charges and a 43€ refund from Decathlon for a bottom bracket replacement under guarantee, I have some money to spend on cycling goods.

Problem is is that I can't find anything to buy:

• Bikes are in good order
• Touring gear in good order
• Clothing in good order

Is there anything that cycling related and nice but not essential that's worth spending my money on?

Helmet cam,Garmin,and more clothing would be on my list Vernon.

i had similar thoughts recently. all my bikes and gear are in perfect order so really there is no need to buy anything cycling related. i only thought of two things that i would like to have, but don't really need: brooks team pro titanium saddle and carbon shallow drop bars. might get them as a xmas treat if i don't change my mind by then.
other way to spend money in a good way is to go for a short tour, stay in b&b's and have nice meals along the way.

Upgrade Vernon, surely there's some part of your bike you'd like to improve, the tyres/ wheels are good starting points.

No room for n+1

Besides I've got all of the angles covered with my current stable of bikes.

Helmet cam - a health hazard! Everyone wearing helmets cams attract kamikaze motorists, wagon drivers and buss drivers. I'd like my rides to remain incident free.

Garmin is a possibility though I can use my Nokia phone's GPS.

Clothing...mmmm.......a few more tops might be good.

Nope. Honest.

I'm happy with the set up of all of my bikes and I'm tight enough to not change things for change's sake.

A thought!

A bike stand to service my bikes.....problem solved!

I'll spend the change on kebabs and beer.

How about some new lightweight tyres? Hang them up in the shed/garage/kitchen for whenever you need them.
