Reading Time: 5 minutes
As you probably already understood, in BIKO we love cycling and we don’t spend money only for our bikes but also for nice items bike related. We guides put our heads together and made a list with some of our favourite objects. You will not find your usual bike accessories like jerseys, helmets or tools. This list is more unconventionally oriented and about design. Hopefully it will help you make some cyclists close to you happy! There are ideas both for boys and girls. 100 percent of the items are made in the Czech Republic and some websites are only in the Czech language but at the moment of writing at least one person in the mentioned companies speaks English so feel free to drop them an email.
