Christmas present ideas for cyclists (under £50)
Christmas present ideas for cyclists (under £50)
A new bike isn’t going to fit in that Christmas stocking. So here are some smaller gift ideas for £50 or less. By Dan Joyce
Wooden Bicycle Decorations
Christmas decorations with a cycling theme. Options include a wooden Brompton, wooden tandems, and hearts, trees, and snowflakes with cycling cut-outs.
Wahoo Tickr HRM
A heart rate monitor will tell you if you’re working hard enough to shift those Christmas calories. This one’s great value because it uses your smartphone as its display. Also works with Garmins etc.
Green Oil Eco Rider Deluxe set
Fragrances and bath products are all very well, but what cyclists want is a pampered bike. This eco-friendly kit has everything you need to keep your bike and conscience clean.
Lezyne KTV2 Drive
£37.99 pair or free with Cycling UK gift membership
These little lights emit up to 180 lumens from two bright LEDs and have integral USB chargers, so there are no cables to get lost or – like the fairy lights in the attic – tangled. They strap to the bike or clip to clothing.
Flamme Rouge
No more arguments over Monopoly: try this family-friendly bike racing game instead. It has a nice mix of luck and tactics and lasts only 30-45 minutes. It’s for 2-4 players.
Flying Fergus 6: The Cycle Search and Rescue
It’s not Christmas without a new book. The latest instalment in Chris Hoy and Joanna Nadin’s popular Flying Fergus series should keep primary school age cyclists entertained.
Corinne Dennis Padded Undies
An underwear gift that won’t go unwanted. These padded undies, available for men and women, are a practical alternative to Lycra shorts, worn under normal shorts etc.
