The Rider Box

Monthly gift boxes are growing in popularity, and one option available to cyclists has a connection to U.S. cyclocross racing.

The Runner Box, the parent company of The Rider Box, is a company started by professional racers Laura Jorgenson and Courtney Lowe to provide Elite bike racers with jobs they can work at on-site and remotely while traveling to race. Andrew Giniat of the Pony Shop CX Racing team and Eric Thompson of MSpeedwax.com both currently work for the company.

The Rider Box is the cycling-specific monthly box service offered by the company. The boxes ship every other month, and you can order subscriptions of 1, 3 and 6 boxes per year, with discounts for the 6-month and 12-month options. The price is between $25 and $29 per box.
