Rick joined Sam and Greg on SportsRadio 92.9 The Game Sunday morning with his 2019 Holiday Sports and Tech Gift Picks!

Have a listen:

Items they discussed:

Huffy Hybrid Gravel Bike – On & Off Road Bike

We often don’t think about the technology behind bikes, but the new Huffy Carom 27.5-in 14-Speed Gravel Bicycle is a great gift for someone looking to upgrade their ride or for someone looking at getting back into biking. The new style boasts a sturdy aluminum hydroformed frame, dual disc brakes, mountain bike handlebars, alloy quick-release seat binder, and Kolo alloy 3-piece crank. The 14-speed Micro-Shift shifting technology makes it easy to adjust gears while on the road, off the road, or adventuring through downtown. You can pick up the rugged bike at retailers for $260.

Amazon Echo Flex

Without fail, any Amazon in-home gadget works wonders during the holidays. The Echo Flex is the perfect solution to add to your home automation and smart systems. And for under $25, it is a great stocking stuffer or supplemental gift. The Echo flex offers voice control of your smart home (turn on lights, adjust thermostats, phone calls, lock doors), built-in USB port (charge your phone or tablet), an optional night-light accessory or motion sensor, and connection to other compatible Echo devices. You can also enable Alexa Guard to get Smart Alerts if your Echo device detects the sound of smoke alarms, carbon monoxide alarms, or glass breaking.

Samsung Q70R Soundbar

As television technology continues to advance in terms of picture technology, sound seems to take a back seat. Enter Samsung’s 2019 Q Series Soundbars – the Q70R provides multidimensional cinematic audio sound designed to enhance your home entertainment setup. The Q Series offers Dolby Atmos & DTS: X along with a super sleek and slim design featuring 6 speakers in total. Buyers can save upwards of $200 on select soundbars when buying a qualifying 2019 QLED or UHD TV. This is an ideal gift for the sports, movie, and gaming fanatic in your life.
