2012 Holiday Gift Guide: Training and Fitness

Two wheels are better than one and so are two bikers. If you're looking to turn a pal onto cycling so he can join you on your next mega-mile odyssey look no farther than the CAAD8 5 105 Road Bike by Cannondale. With the lightest in-class frame and a more forgiving Heads-Up race geometry this is the ideal choice for a first road bike. Hook someone up with it this holiday and you'll turn them into an easy rider in no time flat.
