Stuck on what Christmas gifts to buy for a cyclist this December? This list makes Christmas bike and accessory shopping, easy.

By Emily Rose Dallara

Buying Christmas gifts for cyclists is tough. They’re obsessed with everything to do with mountain biking, road biking or the latest gadgets for their bike. They even have the latest cycling jacket and gloves you nearly bought in the black Friday sales. Goddammit!

It can be tricky coming up with ideas for unique gifts for bikers, especially when you’re  not familiar with the sport yourself.

Don’t stress out though! There are tons of awesome cycling gifts that your bike-loving friend or family member would be more than happy to receive.

If you’re really struggling for ideas and not sure where to begin, it helps to do a bit of digging before you start shopping. Take a look at what bike accessories they already have, then look to see if there are any upgraded versions. Hint dropping always comes in handy, obviously. But showing an interest in their cycling obsession could lead to suspicion…;-)
