Gift question for cyclists

[Wines Not Whines]

Thanks for your thoughts! I deleted the details in case someone I know IRL lurks here and figures out what this post was about.

He could buy a new bike!!

oh God, I could spend that in a heartbeat, and I bet your friend can too. Cycling clothes, accessories, nutrition, shoes, maintenance/repairs/upgrades on a current bike, tools, etc. If cycling his HIS THING, I would not break it up unless there's a specific other store you think he'd really enjoy.

If it's an actual gift cert rather than a gift card with a balance that can be debited, I would break it up into several smaller gift certs though, so he doesn't have to use it all at the same time.

Wow, $2000! As of today, I could easily spend that in my shop. But, if I had the upgrades that I'd like already, then it might be better spent in other places.

Sorry - I'm not sure that's very helpful.

Nope, you can always use a new kit new helmet things like that add up quickly!

Thanks all!

I'd also offer him the cash or see what he wants and use the cash to buy it for him if it's a big item.

This. I could easily spend $2K in a bike shop!
