What do you want from amazon?
So my daughter gave me a hundred dollar amazon gift card for my birthday just before Christmas and I'm overwhelmed.
I can't decide what do get! I been on the site for days!!
Tell me what "You" would buy for your bicycle if you had that gift card.....
I need some ideas! Fast! Otherwise my wife is going to convince me to get something for the house!

Well, if you aren't sure - and need to act before someone else compels you to do so.
you could send my way a Lezyne CNC travel drive,
appreciate it,
thanks.

I had my amazon Christmas today too. I bought quite a few tools from Park Tool, a new chain and cassette and a baclava to wear. If you don't spend the entire hundred please let me know as I'll send you the rest of my wishlist.

If, like me, you have wireless computers on several bikes and they all use 2032 batteries, then you could buy a very large number of them from Amazon for a hundred bucks. I bought a dozen or so at an attractive price a while back.

I'd go for music CDs or books about cycling.
At this point, I've got all the cycling-specific things I need.

I only have a $25 Amazon card to spend. Getting a helmet mount mirror even though I don't ride on the roads and only am on a very sparsely populated bike path in the middle of nowhere in the middle of the woods. If I'm listening to earbuds, I still occasionally get someone faster than me coming by and they startle me (not a problem because I am always riding on the right side as opposed to a lot of walkers I see who spread across the entire path blocking it.) I can grab 1 other item and don't know what to get because I plan to pick up a new bike in the spring. I know I want bar end grips for a flat bar, but I think I'm going to pick up Ergon grips when I buy the new bike. I'd like to have toe clips (not clipless) but I'd also need new better pedals to mount them (mine are cheap plastic on a cheap junk bike) but again, I probably won't ride this bike again other than the rare nice day before spring comes when I get a new one.
I don't know if I could get padded shorts or even undershorts for roughly $25+ on Amazon. Perhaps I should just hold onto the gift card until I get the bike, but then, I do know I want the helmet mirror.
Don't have much to add to my $25 since I spend way too much money elsewhere having off work for about 2 and a half weeks over the Christmas holiday.

I had enough gift cards to make the Velo Orange Mod 3 saddle + saddle cream affordable, so I went for it! Final cost after gift cards was $40, which was covered by Christmas money. Gonna finally see what all this fuss is about regarding leather saddles.

Also, here are some pics:
Edit: It does have some sort of laminated fabric underneath, but no foam or any other "rigid" material, that I can tell. One more pic for clarification:

I have a spreadsheet I use for my budget and all sorts of planning. Education, career, house repairs, and hobbies \ sports. The last item is about 40 items long.
Keep a list to avoid repeating this awful experience.
