Shopping for loved ones can be much easier when they have a hobby such as cycling as there are so many options for customisation or practical additions. Things that can make their ride a little easier or more enjoyable or something that reminds them of their bike when they\u2019re unlucky enough to not be riding that day. You\u2019re sure to find some inspiration to gift the cyclist in your life (or buy something for yourself!).<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Bike Bell or horn<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It often feels like kids love anything which makes a loud noise but this particular thing can come in quite handy on their bike. As they\u2019re speeding their way along a cycleway coming up behind a family, a bell or a horn may be a welcome addition to their bike to warn unsuspecting walkers. Bells and horns<\/a> can come in all sorts of colours and patterns, meaning you can get something that suits their personality or interests and they\u2019d feel proud to show off on their bike.<\/p>\n

A personalised bike print<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If everyone in the family has their own bike, why not have these reimagined in art form<\/a> and proudly displayed above the dining room table? A lovely gift for another cycling family<\/a> or one to gift your own.<\/p>\n

Neck gaiter<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Nobody likes a cold neck (or head, wrist or ears or the myriad other ways you can wear this tube of fabric) except for maybe children who have a tendency to go out in the freezing cold and refuse to put a coat on. But what if this fashionable accessory<\/a> also had their favourite superhero on it? Or maybe it had all the colours of the rainbow? They might be more inclined to protect themselves from the elements, and that\u2019s what makes it the perfect gift for both adults and children alike. One can never have too many buffs.<\/p>\n

Fingerless gloves<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The same could be said about gloves. Those of us unlucky to have experienced flying over the handlebars and losing the skin on the palms of our hands know that gloves can prevent a lot of hassle. Whilst some may learn the hard way, it can make life a lot easier if your little ones have a pair of fingerless gloves<\/a> to stick on and make their cycling experience just a little bit safer. Available in a variety of patterns and colours, they\u2019ll not want to take them off.<\/p>\n

Helmet cover<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Helmet covers could also be seen as a safety feature in that your child may well be inspired to reach for their helmet consistently when it features LEGO or a Santa hat, depending on the season. Maybe they really want a mohawk but you\u2019re not quite on board with shaving their head just yet, these LYCRA helmet covers<\/a> can do just the trick. You never know, they might end up wearing their helmet all the time if they love their new hairdo that much, and you\u2019ll never have to worry about a bump again.<\/p>\n

Tour De Force by Mark Cavendish<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If you\u2019ve got a book-worm teenager or a mum who loves a good read as well as watching the racing, then Mark Cavendish\u2019s new book about his successful return to cycling is an inspiring read.<\/p>\n

Tiny, the cycling fox written by Richard Cantle and illustrated by Pip Claffey<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A good book will always make a great Christmas gift as something which can be treasured. This recently published children\u2019s book (aimed at ages 2 – 7 years) by Richard Cantle, lovingly illustrated by Pip Claffey is sure to bring joy to both you and your child as a fantastic bedtime story. An inspirational tale, which shares positive messaging around kindness and community, Tiny, the cycling fox<\/em><\/a> will teach valuable lessons through a heart-warming story.<\/p>\n

Handlebar Tassels<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Nothing says \u2018cool\u2019 like tassels streaming in the wind as you\u2019re pedalling along a cycle path, with the wind in your hair. Available in an assortment of colours and combinations to suit your child\u2019s (or your) preferences. The joy they bring to the rider and people passing by is well worth it.<\/p>\n

GoPro<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If you\u2019ve got an older, more experienced cyclist who prefers a bit of off-roading, then filming their adventures can provide an exciting new element to their riding. A GoPro with a helmet or chest attachment gives great POV shots and will supply endless exciting footage for their next YouTube video. You never know, you could inspire the next Rachel Atherton.<\/p>\n

Kids\u2019 smartwatch<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Smartwatches are now a common piece of technology, with many people wearing them in day-to-day life. Your child may be too young for a mobile phone but a smartwatch offers many positives with fewer time-consuming apps. Using their smartwatch in tandem with their cycling may give them an insight into the data such as distance, speed and heart rate, which they can use to their advantage. If they\u2019re not quite so data-motivated, a smartwatch<\/a> can still be useful to track your child if they\u2019re going out on their bike alone. Some even have a nifty collision warning, which calls an emergency contact in case of an accident.<\/p>\n

Bike-wheel lights<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Kids often love things that light up, remember light-up trainers? Well, now their bike can be flashing all sorts of colours as they\u2019re pedalling along. Who said safety can\u2019t be fun?<\/p>\n

Bike-themed socks<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Who doesn\u2019t love new socks?! A timeless classic that the whole family will enjoy. You can\u2019t go wrong with a pair of socks. That first wear before they\u2019re washed is a feeling which is unmatched. You could buy a pair for everyone in your family and nobody would complain, especially if those socks were bike-themed. They could be cycling-specific socks or they could just be covered in bikes. Either way, they\u2019re sure to be a hit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
