It’s tough, I must admit, even as a cyclist it is not easy to find Christmas gifts for a cyclist. Unless you are an avid rider yourself, it is at times hard to understand why we shave our legs, are lycra clad half of the time, and why we find it enjoyable to ride our bikes indoors… Isn’t the point of riding a bike to be outdoors?.. However, this disconnection shouldn’t foil your ability to better understand the needs of the cyclist on your Christmas shopping list. Here is a list of fool proof gift ideas that will sure to please even the pickiest cyclist this Christmas

 1. Rapha: If you want to see nothing but smiles, maybe some jumping up and down like a toddler with a tickle me Elmo when your cyclist opens their gift, then you should consider a cool gift from Rapha. Something big – Rapha Pro Team Winter Jacket or something small – Rapha Logo Socks, they provide options to please them all. For those that are new to cycling they even have this cool  Handbook. But have a look over our expanding Rapha collection being updated weekly.

 2. Lights: Not just for decorations on your house or Christmas tree. Give the gift a safety this season with some cool lights. If you want your cyclist to be really safe out on the road – Garmin Varia RTL515  , may we suggest our bestseller– Cobber 330 Lights  If you want them to have options with their lights – Blackburn 2’Fer and if you just want a stocking stuffer – EVO Nitelight Lookout

 3. Assos Shorts: Perhaps the cyclist on your list is extra special, or has been really good this year… If that is the case, then there is no better way to spoil a cyclist and give the gift of Assos Equipe RS S9 bib shorts. For that Cyclist that has been too good to be true this year – Assos Equipe RSR S9 bib shorts Every time they suit up for a ride, these bib shorts will serve as a reminder of you, and your absolute admiration for them.

4. Garmin Vector 3 Power Pedals: Empower the cyclist on your list this year, with the most versatile and compatible power meter option on the market in the Garmin Vector 3 power pedals.

 5. Bicycle maintenance products: Every cyclist knows that a clean bike is a fast bike! Even when riding Zwift indoors. Keeping your bike in pristine condition is a top priority, and provides another excuse for a cyclist to be with their bike. When it comes to keeping a bike in tip top shape, dish soap and WD-40 just won’t do.. However, Muc-Off has some great cleaning agents from their Equipment cleaner, Bio chain degreaser, C3 Ceramic lube, and the clever Sweat Protect anti-corrosion finishing spray. That product does wonders to protection your bike from the damage sweat can create when riding indoors
