The colder winter months may mean fewer cyclists on the road, but they’re probably itching to get back on their bike as soon as they can! The holidays are a perfect time to give something useful for when that time comes, even if the cyclist in your life won’t be actively cycling for another month or two.
We’ve gathered our seven favourite gifts for 2022, and we’ll highlight what makes them the perfect gift for under the tree this year!
Motion Sensor Alarm
Just like a car alarm, there are bicycle alarms, made to keep your favourite cyclist informed if someone is trying to kidnap their bicycle! The Wsdcam 113db is our top pick and comes with an SOS function, waterproof casing, and sensitivity adjustment. The SOS function is an alarm that automatically goes off if the device senses a tilt of 45° or more. As for the sensitivity adjustment, you can adjust both the alarm volume as well as the sensitivity for when the device sounds after movement.
Racing Cookie Cutters
The perfect stocking stuffer for any cycling fan, these cookie cutters bring the Tour de France home. Cut cookies into bicycles, jerseys, and the Eiffel Tower, and imagine yourself gliding through Paris during the race! These three cookie cutters also come with a recipe booklet, so anyone can help make cycling cookies a reality.
Water Bottle
While avid cyclists are sure to already have their favourite water bottle, there’s nothing wrong with having a back-up! Our go-to for a new water bottle is the CamelBak Podium, with a fun design and a high-flow, self-sealing cap. The CamelBak is easy to squeeze, making it great for drinking on the go, as well as ensuring a snug fit into a variety of bottle cages. Be sure to check your gift recipients preference for bottle material and drink spout as they may prefer a straw vs a sports cap, or a sturdier plastic that has less flex.
Bike Phone Mount
Phones come with most of us no matter where we go, and hitting a trail or bike lane is no different! As phones have evolved, so have our methods of wanting to keep them accessible and safe along with our daily activities. Phone mounts are available for handlebars, and these make the perfect gift for any cyclist! The Lamicall Phone Mount is our choice for this year’s gift, with a sturdy handlebar connection and one-hand operation for easy accessibility. This mount has been tried and tested on cycling surfaces of all kinds and includes amazing shockproof protection.
Bluetooth Beanie
Keep your cyclist warm, comfortable, and enjoying their favourite music! A bluetooth beanie is a great addition to any cyclist’s wardrobe. Our top pick comes in 20 different designs and has an easily accessible control panel on the outside. Unlike a lot of other hats with bluetooth headphones, the Rotibox allows users to remove the headphones completely and wash the beanie!
Cycling Jersey
Whether they’re taking a hiatus from riding or are still cycling every day, the cyclist in your life could probably use a new jersey! Weimostar has jersey’s in so many designs, including holiday themes and team colours. Whatever colour or design you decide on, all of Weimostar’s jerseys are machine wash friendly and most of them have the classic 3-pocket design. One of the pockets is waterproof and zippered, and holds most sizes of mobile phones safe and secure. With shirts for both men and women, and short and long sleeve options, there is a huge variety to choose from!
Bike Camera
If you’re looking to really spoil a cyclist this year, look into gifting a bike camera. Similar to a dash cam for a car, bike cams can get great cruising footage or be there to record in the case of an accident. We have two picks for bike cameras; the first is the Drift Ghost XL, which features a rotatable lens and five hour battery life. It also has event detection and is waterproof, so you can bring it with you wherever your wheels take you!
The second bike camera we recommend is the Feisike Handlebar Camera. This camera comes with a rear camera that is easily installed on a bike frame and rotated in any direction for the best view. This camera is equipped with night vision and a screen to mount on the handlebars, so you can see behind you in real time.
