If your mom is into cycling (newbie or advance) and you want to splurge on her, why not pick up the Vita bike by Specialized? It's a fantastic bike for running errands, commuting to work or going for long rides. The bike rides comfortable and is perfect for any level.  Since this is more on the pricey side, maybe go in with a few family members. It's a killer bike.

If you're looking to get your mom into some fashionable attire, lululemon has just launched a cycling line. It's for the mom who likes to bike to work—think "bike-to-the-boardroom" look. The Ride On collection offers: Ride On Blazer, Ride On Pant, and Ride On Short.

The look is business-y, yet comfortable enough to ride to and from work. The fabric offers a 4-way stretch, reflective gear for early morning or night rides, chafe-resistant seams, and water-repellent.
