Best gift ideas for a cyclist

Just like any other sport or hobby, cycling is something that can be addictive in a very good way. It takes control over a person's mind, and you know a cyclist when you see one - has way too many cycling outfits, is buying bike parts regularly, or is constantly dreaming about a new bike, or all three of them.

Well, let’s say you know one (or you are one too), and you are looking for the perfect Christmas or upcoming Birthday gift. Say no more, because we have prepared a list of great gift ideas for a cyclist!

Velosock has prepared some amazing offers for you too. Up to 40% OFF site-wide to Velosocks and bike covers for transportation!

     1. Velosock bike cover

Velosock indoor bike cover might be something an urban cyclist appreciates the most, as it’s a great solution for bicycle storage indoors (inside the apartment, office or a hotel) as well as it will protect your car from dirt, if he/she transports the bike inside the car trunk. There are many awesome designs available to choose from!

     2. Cycling headphones

Have you heard about these ingeniously designed wireless cycling headphones that allow you to safely ride while enjoying music? Presenting you AfterShokz Conduction headphones.

They don’t get into the ear canal but sit outside it, so you can still talk to people and hear cars and stay safe while cycling. And because they use bone-conduction technology, which delivers sound through vibrations against your skull, only the wearer can hear what’s being played.

You don’t notice them, and they never make you sweat, unlike earphones. The headphones also work just as well for listening to real-time directions from Google Maps.

Price 70-120 eur

     3.Clip-on speaker

If the cyclist in your life likes to pedal alongside friends, they’ll appreciate how easily this JBL Cip-in Bluetooth speaker can clip on to various parts of their bike to play a soundtrack for group rides. Its battery lasts for more hours than anyone can ride in a single day, which is a great assurance!

Price : 50-60 eur

     4.Blackburn Frame Bag

For the cyclist who wants even more on-bike storage, cycling coach Robert Evans says this frame bag would make for a very functional gift because its design allows it to neatly slot into the empty space in the center of a bike frame. “If you don’t use or don’t have water-bottle mounts, this holds water, tools, and food and is perfect for long days in the saddle,” he assures.

Price: 105-115 eur

     5.Ottolock Steel and Kevlar Combination Bike Lock

This colorful, simple bike lock would make a good gift for any cyclist. You don’t need to worry about losing the key, as it uses a combination lock. And they’re surprisingly durable locks considering how lightweight they are.

Designed to hold a bike by its wheels, you can use just one hook to store it vertically, or two to store it horizontally.
