The season of gift-giving is upon us. For the favorite cyclists in your life, may we suggest the following books, photo albums, and inspirational apparel from FloBikes’ talented contributors?

Molly Hurford – Shred Girls

Since the site’s launch this fall, Hurford has covered cyclocross for FloBikes from the U.S. and abroad with insider expertise. Yet, her writing skills extend beyond the race course.

The Shred Girls children’s book series chronicles the bike-based adventures of middle-aged characters Lindsay, Jen, and Ali. The first edition in the series (published by Rodale) won’t be released until the winter of 2018. However, at shred-girls.com you can gleam pro tips from real life Shred Girls, and purchase official apparel at the site's shop, like this Shred Girl In Training onesie.

Phil Gaimon – Draft Animals: Living the Pro Cycling Dream (Once in a While)

Former pro racer, author, blogger, YouTube series creator, and podcaster Phil Gaimon has served as both a contributor and a subject for FloBikes. He chronicled his experience at the Taiwan KOM Challenge and sat down for a lengthy interview about the process of writing his recently released memoir, Draft Animals. 

You can watch or listen to that interview, here. And you can purchase Gaimon’s book chronicling his rise and fall from the WorldTour, here.

Balint Hamvas – Cyclocross Album 16/17

U.K.-based photographer Balint Hamvas cheekily touts his work as “Probably the best cyclocross photos on the web.” After partnering with Hamvas since the start of the cyclocross season, we’d certainly agree. 

The galleries he sends us not only include dramatic images of mud-stained winners and losers, they chronicle the scenes around the race in a way that makes you feel like part of the crowd. We watch the race with Hamvas, but we people watch, too.

In his annual cyclocross album, Hamvas offers a collection of the season’s best photos, as well as beautifully reported and written essays on a variety of events and characters. 

Order here by December 18 for U.S. shipping in time for Christmas.

Ian Dille – The Cyclist’s Bucket List

Prior to the launch of FloBikes, senior editor Ian Dille penned The Cyclist’s Bucket List, an inspirational and informative collection of 75 quintessential cycling experiences. 

The book is for anyone who one-day dreams of touring Croatia’s Dalmatian islands, riding up Alp d’Huez or across Roubaix cobbles, or even descending El Camino del Muerte in Bolivia, dubbed the world’s most dangerous road. You can purchase the book, here.
