http://ift.tt/2h6E9rP

Cyclists are a varied breed, ranging from the wild and wooly to the quantitative and analytical. If your loved one falls into that latter camp, here are some data-driven gifts sure to get his or her inner statistician counting their blessings.

Feedback Sports Alpine Scale

This is the scale we use to weigh pro bikes at the Tour de France as well as test bikes in our workshops. Our example is still as accurate and reliable as day one despite taking the strain of thousands of bikes.

It’s easy to hold or clamp into a bike stand, and the coated hook won’t scratch your bike, wheels or whatever else you hang on it. Operation is simple with three buttons: on/off, zero/tare and mode (g, kg or lb). It's rated to hold up to 25kg (55lbs) too, so you needn't worry about hanging even the beefiest of bicycles from it.
