Last minute Father’s Day ideas for Dads who ride
This little tool has become an essential part of our riding kit.
Dynaplug Racer
Flats are an unavoidable fact of life. If the hole is small enough, tire sealant can plug the hole. If it doesn’t, your Dad will be stuck fiddling with an old school inner tube. To help save time (and his expensive tire), buy him a Dynaplug. This little tool works just like a tire plug for your car. You jam it in, trim the excess, and you’re good to go.
The Dynaplug pictured above retails for around $45 USD, but there are cheaper versions available. To learn more, check our story here.
We worked with Stem Cap to create custom bits for our Project Alloy bike.
StemCap
The Stem Cap is a two piece system that adds some flare to your front end. You can order pre designed plastic caps if you’re short on time or create a custom cap with a picture of the family.
Base price for the Stem Cap system is $18. To learn more, check out our review here.
When an ordinary beer koozie won’t cut it.
Rump Beer Blanket
The Rambler Colster from YETI might be the cool “koozie” of the moment, but your Dad will upstage all his buddies when he pulls out this Beer Blanket. Unlike it’s over engineered cousin, this little gem plays nice with every beer and takes up far less room.
The Beer Blanket retails for $8. Learn more at GoRumpl.com.
Just make sure you order the right size.
Bike Apparel
An easy to way to stoke Dad out is to buy him his new favorite T-shirt. Start by peeking into the garage, figuring out what brand of mountain bike he’s riding, then head to that brand’s website. Almost every company sells T-shirts, hats, socks, or riding jerseys. If you ask nicely in the “notes section” of the checkout page, you can probably get some extra stickers for free.
