We all know someone who loves their bicycle more than their family (whether they admit it or not). There's that coworker who rides to work literally every day, rain or shine. The uncle who has done enough triathlons to make anyone feel like a sloth. Or the friend who has zero fear when she rages on her mountain bike on trails so sketchy that most people would have a tough time walking on them.
We also know that shopping for cyclists can be quite the challenge — whether it's for a birthday or a holiday! So we've rounded up a bunch of gear that doesn't always make their usual equipment list, and costs under $100. It's time to surprise your favorite bike lover with something fun and functional from our list of gifts for cyclists!
There's nothing worse than needing to fix or adjust something before or during a ride, only to find out that you don't have the proper tools.
This compact multitool is made just for cyclists — it comes with eight hex wrenches, a tire lever, a box wrench, two spoke wrenches, a chain tool, and a flathead screwdriver. It's the perfect tool to take care of almost any surprise in the field, so your friend can do their own repairs, rather than calling you for help with another rescue!
If you're buying for someone who likes to do their own routine maintenance, a bike stand is one of those accessories that makes a huge difference! Instead of flipping a bike over on its handlebars or trying to balance it up against a wall, lift it up and clamp it into this stand. We love giving this to our cycling friends, mostly because it's the gift that keeps on giving!
Buying for someone who spends equal time reading and cycling? These bicycle bookends are handmade from carbon steel, then painted to resemble a bicycle silhouette. They're the perfect way to spice up a bland mantel or tidy up a messy bookshelf.
During rides when there's a real chill to the air, this face protector will make a huge difference in a cyclist's comfort level. Or if the sun is so intense that sunscreen won't cut it, a buff can protect them from UV rays!
We love this gaiter's stunning artwork! But Buff has TONS of additional options, with solid colors or patterns, and varying degrees of warmth or UV protection, so you can pick out the perfect gift to match your recipient's personality.
Are you tired of your cycling partner always asking you to stuff their keys, phone, and wallet in your backpack? Gift them a new bike basket to drop a not-so-subtle hint! This Nantucket-inspired option mounts to most handlebars with the two adjustable leather straps, and makes the perfect addition to any beach cruiser.
"Looking good, feeling good" is not a motto that should be reserved for beach chill sessions. Protect your eyes and see better than ever before on long-distance rides, then turn heads at the after party with these shades from Spy.
The rimless style not only looks fly, it also maximizes your field of view, so you can spot any potholes or tree tree trunks that stand in your path well before it's too late. Gift a pair to a friend, and you'll probably want a different color for yourself.
Need a small Christmas gift or stocking stuffer? This cute bicycle ornament is made of solid black cherry wood, and will hang perfectly on the tree next to the homemade decorations from primary school (we hope you saved them!).
Do you have a cycling buddy who's always carrying reusable plastic water bottles and then complaining about hot water? Hook them up with this insulated bottle from Camelbak. It fits perfectly into most bottle cages, has an easy-to-drink-from lid, and is insulated to help keep ice water from turning lukewarm on those sweltering hot days.
Safety is no accident, people. A headlight is a necessity — especially when riding at night! This light is a best-seller at REI, especially for commuters and recreational riders. It has 4 different brightness levels plus a flash mode for daylight. It can be easily mounted and removed from the handlebars, and performs well even when wet! What better way to keep your friends safe?
11Farm to Feet Men's Blue Ridge Compression Run Socks
Cycling can really take a toll on a cyclist's legs, so it's best to help your muscles recover while you're riding. These socks provide equal compression from the arch of your foot to the top of your calf, and they're made of a Merino wool blend, so your feet will feel supported and comfortable all day long, no matter how long the route.
It's not that we necessarily encourage drinking and riding, but if we can't stop you altogether, we might as well help you be safer while doing it! This handmade leather cupholder is an attractive, functional accessory for casual cyclists. Mount it to the handlebars to keep coffee, adult sodas, and even water (go figure) handy!
Texting and biking is just as dangerous as texting and driving — if not more! Attach this universal phone mount to the handlebars, and your friend can see when you send them a text, then pull over to read it (ideally).
It's also the safest and easiest way to keep the GPS within their line of sight, or to shuffle through a playlist (quietly, of course).
Any cyclist would love this portable mini air compressor. Unlike other options that have to be plugged into your car, this pump operates on a USB-rechargeable battery, so you can use it literally anywhere!
Combine this pump with a simple patching kit for emergency flats when far away from electricity, whether on a road ride or a mountain trail! It can even be used as a power bank, a flashlight, and to inflate car tires!
Everybody has that one friend who's always asking to borrow a pump. Instead of holding yourself back from yelling, "Bro, get your own!" every time he asks, just get him his own!
It inflates tires up to 160 PSI, has a gauge for accurate filling, easily switches between Presta and Schrader valves, and comes with a puncture-repair kit.
These spunky LED lights, available in 5 colors, are a super cheap way to instantly increase visibility on the road. When turned on, bikers can choose from three settings: steady, strobe (slow flash), or fast-flash. These are so useful for early-morning or evening rides, and each little (but bright!) light will burn for up to 100 hours.
When space is tight but you need to keep your bike upright, this miniature clip is the perfect solution. Just mount this CLUG clip to any surface (in a stud, of course) to store any bike vertically or horizontally. With five sizes, there is one for most wheels — from racing machines to fat bikes.
