Garmin Vector Pedals – $1699

In the old days, children, if we wanted to measure power as we rode our bikes, we had to do it with either a special hub on our wheel or with a tap built into our crankset. That meant you basically had to buy an expensive power-meter for each bike you owned—and most of us own at least a few. This year, however, Garmin released the first pedal-based power-meter.

Metrics are captured throughout the entire pedal stroke measuring both overall power and balance between right and left legs. Pedals are compatible with Look Koe-style cleats and you can access all of your data through Garmin Connect, although that means you’ll need a Garmin-compatible GPS device for recording data.

Hydrapak Stash Bottle – $17.99

Collapsible water bottles seem like a great idea until you spill an entire 32- ounce bottle on your laptop because the bottom is, well, collapsible. The Hydrapak is a genius little hack on that problem. The top and bottom are made of hard plastic that snaps together when empty and provides structure when it’s full. And at the price point, it’s worth having an extra one in the car or your gym bag for when you forget your water bottle—again.
