Father's Day falls on Sunday, June 21, in the USA. If you're on the hunt for the best cycling-themed gifts for the most important man in your life, then an Amazon Audible subscription is the gift that keeps on giving.
Audible allows users to listen to professional narrators, celebrities, or authors bringing books to life. For the cycling-obsessed dad, Audible is loaded with practically every cycling book you can think of, including the best cycling biographies, cycling history, and training books. Audible also has all the best cycling podcasts, including Watts Occurring with Tour de France winner Geraint Thomas, and The Cycling Podcast hosted by cycling journalists Daniel Friebe and Lionel Birnie.
Below, I've selected some of my own favourite cycling titles. The prices reflect what they would cost as a standalone purchase – without an Audible Subscription.
Amazon Alexa owners can also listen via their Alexa device. If your dad is new to the digital world, you can also add an Amazon Alexa Dot from just $49.99, which adds to the benefit of not only an Audible subscription, but also allows for easy music listening, hands-free smart home control, automated daily routines and more.
Audible cycling titles include a plethora of reading, and I was happy to see my old colleague Andy McGrath's latest title on Tadej Pogačar, which is an excellent read. Tadej Pogačar: Unstoppable covers Pogi's meteoric rise, his victories and rivalries, while revealing more about the character behind the cycling domination.
McGrath's first outing as an author, God is Dead, is also included, and this title was shortlisted for the William Hill Sports Book of the Year award. Top name biographies from Mark Cavendish, Chris Froome, Peter Sagan, and Sir Bradley Wiggins mean you'll never be short of cycling-based listens.
As a dad, if I were gifted an Audible Subscription, I'd be very happy to receive it (just in case any of my children are reading this).
