The best 12 Christmas Gifts for Cyclists

With Christmas just around the corner, now is the time that we wrack our brains for original and innovative gift ideas. This unfortunately is not as easy as it sounds. Well, as luck would have it, I might be able to help you out in that department, especially if you are buying for the cyclist in your life. I have scoured the internet high and low and have put together my list of the top 12 cycling gifts. If you can think of a good cycling gift that I haven’t listed please leave a comment in the comments section.

MP3 Bike Speaker

Price: High
Wow factor: 7/10
This nifty little bit of equipment will certainly jazz up your ride to and from work. Cycling with headphones can be quite tricky as they block out the sound of traffic which can be dangerous. This fantastic MP3 Bike Speaker is a great alternative as the 2GB onboard memory will allow you to cycle along at speed while enjoying your favourite tunes. The built in high powered LED light is also an additional safety feature and the rechargable battery means you can cycle for up to 10 hours before recharging. All in all, this belongs to the really useful cycling gifts for gadget loving cyclists.

Bicygnals

Price: Medium
Wow factor: 6/10
Not all of us have quite mastered the one hand signal system without hitting a wobble at some point. Bicygnals have filled this gap and offer a great solution as you can indicate with just a push of your thumb – without ever taking your hands of the handlebar. Brilliant! Bicygnals allow for faster more confident turns and movements in traffic and also helps to ensure that cars don’t have an excuse to  cut  you off. The lights are bright and run wirelessly. They are easily attached and detached and because they flash, they will give you hours of service.

Immobitag

Price: Low
Wow factor: 3/10
Sadly, bicycle theft is a huge reality (especially in cities), it is very necessary for cyclists to invest in locks and cables to keep their bikes safe and secure. The Immobitag is an excellent cycling gift. It offers added security and peace of mind as it marks your bike with a scanable, unremovable tag that will immediately go onto the National Stolen Property Database as well as the Second Hand Trade Stolen Property Register, if the bike is ever stolen. While this of course does not guarentee that your bike won’t get stolen, it does give it added protection. You also have the comfort of knowing that it is trackable. As far as cycling gifts go, this little gadget makes for a great practical stocking filler.

Wow factor: 8/10
Well, what with everyone either owning or wanting an iPhone, this $country = wp_ozh_getCountryCode(0) ;
switch ($country) {
case "us" :
case "ca" :
echo 'bicycle iPhone mount‘;

}
?> is the perfect cycling gift. Cyclists have long been using “bicycle computers” to track time, speed and distance. The iPhone’s built in GPS together with the correct apps can easily duplicate these functions without messy cables. The iPhone mount comes in two pieces: The handlebar mount and the iPhone bracket that fits into it. The mount attaches and detaches to the handlebars very easily and is exceptionally sturdy and durable. Because the mount is made of hardened plastic, it adds very little extra weight to the bicycle which is very important. All in all, this is a great, practical gift for any cyclist.
