Buying for a cyclist can be tricky. Most riders either have very specific taste… or already own far too much kit, often both. So this year, we’ve put together a list of Christmas gifts that genuinely work. No gimmicks, no fluff, just kit we’ve used ourselves and know will make a difference on and off the bike.
Coros Pace 4
A brilliant GPS watch for the price. Lightweight, long battery life, and reliable tracking without the overcomplication.
POC Helmets
Top-tier protection for less. POC helmets are known for comfort and safety, and the Sigma sale makes them a standout deal. Ideal for road, gravel and mountain bikers
Multitool
An essential that every cyclist should carry. Solves most mid-ride issues and weighs next to nothing. If they already have a multi tool, having another does not hurt!
Overshoes
One for the road and gravel riders. Overshoes keep feet warm and dry, and a decent jacket makes cold rides much more enjoyable. We have used Spatz for quite some time and won’t be parting with them any time soon.
Finisterre Winter Jacket
Great for pre-ride, post-ride, and everything in between. Stylish, sustainable, and built to last.
Cleaning Kit
A clean bike is a fast, happy bike. A basic cleaning kit helps keep everything running smoothly through winter grime.
Escape Collective Subscription
A gift for the cycling nerd in your life. Proper journalism, long reads, and thoughtful race analysis.
Albion Burner
Warm, durable, and designed for UK conditions. One of those layers that gets used almost daily in winter.
Hiplok Gold
A tough, wearable lock that’s surprisingly easy to carry. Top security without the usual hassle.
AAH Discount

Coffee Gifts
Clifton Coffee Subscription
Fresh beans delivered to the door-ideal for the cyclist who plans their rides around café stops. They also make ‘Nespresso’ coffee pods…
Portable Espresso Machine
…Perfect for bike packers or long-day riders. A little espresso hit, anywhere, anytime. It utilises Nespresso pods, which can be bought just about anyway. USB chargeable and compact-ideal for pre/post rides/walks/ surfs!
Aeropress
Light, compact, and almost indestructible. Brilliant for home, van, office, and most importantly even campsite/bike packing brews. Probably the most robust coffee maker you can buy.
