A little birdie told me that you’re currently trying (and maybe struggling) to find the perfect gift for a cyclist in your life. Sure, you could've gone the generic route and snagged them a Starbucks gift card or some fuzzy socks, but you’re determined to show ‘em that you invested some extra thought into their present. Perhaps the cycling life is not your particular vibe, but you really love someone who is in a long-term relationship with their bicycle, so you’ve turned to this guide to help you find something that says 1. you’re the best and 2. I support this hobby I know nothing about! Rest assured that you'll find the perf present for said person, below.

Here's the lowdown: the best gifts for cyclists are ones that help them upgrade their game in some way, whether that’s a convenient bicycle repair kit or a mini massager to work out their hard-earned muscle aches. They probably already own a bike (you can cross that off the list) but why not deck it out with road safety lights, a bottle holder, or a waterproof bag to hold their gear? Get ready for your gift woes to disappear in 3...2...1...

Cycling Ankle Sock 3-Pack

You might think that all socks are pretty much the same, but these Bombas socks are actually on another level. They have reinforced cushioning at the ball of the foot but aren’t too thick that you’d need to size up your sneakers. Plus, the extra ventilation will keep feet dry all throughout the ride.

Taurus Cycling Gloves

The gift of not getting carpal tunnel is, IMO, a great gift. These gloves are 1. padded to avoid nerve pain and 2. honestly killing it with the ‘80s vibes.

Lennon Bike Helmet with LED Light

Forget what you learned in fourth grade—cool kids *do* wear helmets. This one comes in a handful of chic matte shades while still serving up adjustable, understated functionality. And most importantly, it’s not so bulky that it slows down their ride.

Insulated Water Bottle - 23 fl. oz.

Any kind of water tastes extra delish when you’re thirsty, but cold water truly hits different. One reviewer shares that they like to fill the bottle halfway, freeze it, and then top it off with water before hitting the road for ~extra chilled~ H2O.

Polarized Cycling Sunglasses UV400

Turns out that “polarized” isn’t just a fancy word for “good sunglasses.” Polarized sunnies will actively reduce sun glare, while the visor-like shape of this particular pair will keep out drying winds and any pesky bugs.

Alloy Water Bottle Cage

All they’ll need is two screws to attach this handy (and affordable!) gadget to their bike frame. $6 for a major bike upgrade? Yes, please.

Mini Handheld Electric Massage Gun

Tense muscles and knots will melt away at the press of a button. This particular TheraGun is the brand’s smallest size, so it’s easy to pop into a glove compartment or backpack.

Bicycle Repair Bag

If your friend is just starting to seriously get into cycling, they’ll need some basic tools for at-home maintenance in a handy-dandy kit. (This is where you come in.)

Classic Beach Cruiser Bicycle Bell

Because nothing is more satisfying than going DINGDINGDING and then zooming past someone. Might as well do it in style.

Bicycle Rack Candle

Are they really a die-hard cyclist if they don’t have bicycle-themed decor in their apartment? Time to fix that!

SuperRep Cycle 2 Next Nature

Not all sneakers are made equal. These babies come with 3-hole cleats that can clip into both indoor and outdoor bikes, as well as adjustable straps that’ll hold their feet in an optimal pedaling position.

Funny Cyclist Birthday Card

This greeting card is so cute that I wouldn’t be surprised if it ends up getting hung up on their wall.

Combination Bike Lock

Does your friend have a knack for constantly losing keys? They will love you for getting them a sturdy combination lock instead.

Cyclope Bike Lights

If you’re cycling in less-than-ideal conditions like fog, darkness, or heavy rain without bike lights, there’s a good chance that passing cars aren’t able to see you. These lights pop onto your seat and handlebars for extra road safety.

Fjällräven Handlebar Bag

Fjällräven fans will be obsessed with this bike bag that easily straps onto any handlebar frame. It comes with a waterproof lining (score!) and the logo is reflective to make the cyclist more visible in low-light conditions.

Strava Route Custom Cycling Map Print

Anyone who has ever uttered the words “if it’s not on Strava, it doesn’t count” will love being reminded of their best ride on this unique poster.

French Blue Bicycle Cufflinks

You can now display your love of cycling on your cuffs—what a time to be alive.

Enjoy the Ride Handmade Mug

What’s this? Oh, just a cutie little mug with mini bicycles on it to remind you of all of your cycling adventures as you sip your morning coffee.

Fan Compatible with Peloton Bike & Bike Plus

If they’re less of a than a mountain biker and more of a Peloton cyclist, a clip-on fan is a necessity.
