Gift ideas for… The Adventurers

For the cyclist who rides around with more than a pannier can hold, Babboe creates the ultimate in two-wheeled urban commuting. The German birch box mounted on the bicycle’s handsome charcoal grey galvanized steel frame can carry up to 100 kilograms of cargo or passengers. And with seven speeds, you can pedal that extra weight up the steepest of streets.

Long Point Eco Adventures

Activity options at Long Point Eco Adventures’s Turkey Point compound on Lake Erie include late-night zip-lining, mountain biking tours and Big Creek paddling excursions. As wonderfully outdoorsy as that all sounds, what really draws visitors to this getaway spot is its Wilderness Suites tents, luxe al fresco accommodations with king-sized beds, private decks and ensuite showers and toilets. There’s also the Burning Kiln Winery next door where you can wind down from your active day with a bottle of Cab Franc or Chardonnay. Tents $179.99 to $229 per night, zip line tours (open seasonally) $95 to $116. lpfun.ca.
