2014 holiday gift guide: For the commuter

Keep road gunk from making a stripe up your back with the Topeak DeFender R1/R2 fenders ($65, livetoplaysports.com). They are easy to fasten to a road bike running 20c to 25c tires. The Endura Luminite 2 jacket ($199, livetoplaysports.com) is made with a waterproof, breathable fabric, featuring strategically placed reflective strips. If you want even more visibility out on the road, the jacket has a integrated light with three flash modes and more than 50 hours of run time. These stylish numbers will look good both on and off the bike. The Giro Republic LX shoes ($260, ogc.ca) have a classic style with leather uppers and that time-honoured system for securing shoes: laces. The outsole has pads that offer good traction for walking back to your bike.
