10 gift ideas for a cyclist this Christmas

Christmas is approaching, this time of year when we get to give so many gifts. Sometimes, it's hard to find new ideas to surprise those people we love so much. In this article, we present some proposals for gifts to cyclists, with all kinds of prices.

Being well positioned on the bike is crucial to avoid discomfort, pain and even injuries. A biomechanical study is the perfect gift for those who explain their discomfort in the saddle.

Performance worries many cyclists. Being able to achieve set objectives, face impossible climbs, follow the fastest in the group...

To do this, a personal trainer will help improve performance, adjust loads and achieve sports goals. A 3-month subscription is a very good idea for the most demanding and competitive friends and family.

Safety is paramount. Equipping a good helmet can be crucial in the event of an accident and, furthermore, it is an accessory that has evolved a lot in recent years, so it is easy for it to have become a little outdated.

Along the same lines as the previous recommendation, protecting your eyes is an obligation for any cyclist. There are different types of frames, lenses and filters. You can take the opportunity to give glasses for a specific use, for example, for cloudy days or for outings in the last hours of the day.

On a bicycle we are vulnerable and any element that makes us more visible helps make cycling a slightly safer sport. Giving the gift of front and rear bicycle lights is a very responsible and affordable option.

Technology and cycling are increasingly related. A cycle computer will allow you to record each route, with distance, speed and gradient, but it will also be the entrance to a new world. A universe in which GPS allows you to follow routes, activate alerts of falls or dangerous curves or to perfectly know the profile and hardness of each mountain pass.

The cycle tours are incredible. Pedaling around hundreds of other cyclists is a feeling that is difficult to match. If you know that you repeat the same test every year or that you want to visit a new area, there will be no better gift than a registration for a cycling tour.

The most affordable option of all. If he likes a particular team or rider, you can give him a pair of bottles so he can show off the colors of his favorite squad.

Especially MTB, enduro or downhill riders will love being able to record and play back their technical descents. I'm sure that every day they watch one of their videos they will remember you!

Finally, taking advantage of the winter season, you can give yourself some clothing to withstand the low temperatures. Gloves, shoe covers, neck warmers, insulated jackets... Going out riding in winter can be a bit difficult and any quality piece of clothing will be appreciated.
