Unable to find a children’s book that featured a bicycle, London Cycling Campaign staffer Tom Bogdanowicz decided to write and publish one himself. Fred the Magic Bicycle is a charming tale of fun and magic, and a third of the profit goes directly to LCC.

If you're looking for an achingly cool bike rack for your most on-point cycling loved ones, you've got to go Dutch. The rack can carry 10kg of cargo so it’s plenty strong enough for your average commuting load; it doesn’t look even slightly twee; and it has less of an effect on steering than your usual steel rack. Bingo.
Dutch Style Rack with Crate, £26 + £24
With options for both cycling individuals and families, LCC gift membership is the perfect prezzie for those London dwelling bicycle lovers in your life. Membership not only comes with great gifts but you’re also helping support LCC to make London a safer, more enjoyable cycling city!
