Finding cycling gifts for the two-wheeled enthusiast in your life just got a lot simpler
If your loved-one is into cycling, you’re probably aware that it’s a dangerously acquisitive sport. Shiny new things power the average rider almost as much as the joy of getting out on the bike.
But whether you’ve already reached the stage of having a ‘pain cave’ in your home or are buying for a budding young road or mountain cyclist, you’re on to a winner with cycling-related gifts.
We’ve trawled the web and asked the BikeRadar team to bring you a bunch of our favourite presents for cyclists.
We’ve got ideas for someone who loves bikes but is impossible to shop for, frivolous gifts for those who seemingly have everything, novelty cycling presents that are a little bit silly, and even some for more serious moments such as fixing punctures at the side of the road.
Bikepacking and bike adventures are a lot of fun, but they can turn into a nightmare if you have a mechanical issue you don’t know how to fix, or worse don’t have the tools to deal with! Ollie takes you through the essential tools and maintenance skills you will need for bikepacking, as well as some more advanced equipment.
