Anyone get any nice holiday bike gifts?

Well, my family and friends really came through for me this year and
gave me some very nice and much-needed bicycle accessories for my
Takara road bike I've been fixing up.

First off was a very, very nice Light & Motion "Vega" headlight. I
also got a Cateye wireless cyclocomputer, and a nifty rear LED light.
Now I've got the confidence to ride around the city at night, which is
one of my favorite times to ride.

As if that weren't enough, my fiancee', who has, until recently been
totally without a bike, inherited a gently-used Specialized Hard Rock
rigid mountain bike. As I'm the household bike mechanic, I'll have the
pleasure of cleaning and tuning it up, but it doesn't need much - a
basic lube and brake adjustment will probably be about it.

Anyhow, hope your holiday season was as good as mine.
