The Best Cycling Gifts to Buy a Bike Enthusiast

Finding the perfect present for your avid cyclist’s loved ones or friends can be both convenient and challenging. It’s convenient because you know they’ll appreciate anything bike-related. Yet, it can also be challenging since they might already have everything they need for their Bobbin bikes.

That’s why we’ve put together this guide to help you out! We’ve selected some of the best gifts for bike enthusiasts, no matter how well-stocked their gear might be.

Smartphone Bike Mount

We’ll start with an affordable gift that could make a difference in ordinary bike rides — a smartphone bike mount. It’s widely available on the market, so it’s easy to find the best offers should be straightforward. This practical accessory attaches to the handlebar, allowing riders to follow pre-planned routes while keeping both hands on the handlebars.

This mount not only encourages adventure but also prioritises safety and convenience on the road. Best of all, it might help your cyclist friend discover a new favourite route.

Bobbin Bag

Bicycle bags are a game-changer for daily commuters. They eliminate the hassle of carrying a backpack and the discomfort of wearing one on their back. They’re one of the most thoughtful gifts for cyclists, wouldn’t you agree?

There’s a wide range of options to choose from, but for the sake of simplicity, we’re going to recommend 2 in particular:

• Daytripper Saddle Bag: This mini bag doesn’t take over the whole bike frame. Instead, it fits all the essentials into a compact space around the seat post. It’s a lightweight option for cyclists focused on speed.
• Button Double Pannier: Designed for more leisurely cycling, this pannier rests on a rear carrier and offers two spacious pockets. It’s perfect for carrying work gear, groceries, or picnic essentials. Plus, it detaches and can be used as an everyday bag, making it a multi-purpose gift.

Both of these bags are made from heavy-duty and showerproof cotton. And, let's face it, a waterproof bag is essential in rainy Britain!

Sports Watch or Speedometer

Sport watches and speedometers have become increasingly popular in recent years, and for good reason. They’re excellent tools for tracking cycling progress, especially in terms of timing, distance, and heart rate. This may be especially good for a friend training for a challenging ride. It highlights your support for their efforts and will motivate them to push themselves.

Quality Helmet

 

Check out helmets in a range of shapes and sizes to fit various heads, including both kids helmets and adult helmets. Refer to our guide, ‘Ultimate Bobbin Helmet Gift Guide,’ for more options.

Multi-tool

This is something that every cyclist needs but may not have. Or, they might have one, but it could be due for an upgrade. Either way, a quality multi-tool will last years and be a lifesaver if your friend breaks down.

We offer multi-tools in rainbow (bright and jolly) and bamboo (eco-friendly and classic). Tailor to your cyclist's personality for a thoughtful gift.

Bike Bell

Buying a new bike bell can be a gift your friends didn’t know they needed, and it will remind them of you each time they ding-dong. At Bobbin, we design our bike bells to be not only top quality but also look great. They make a charming addition to any bike and are perfect for cyclists who appreciate the small touches.

When someone has a passion for cycling, acknowledging it through a gift is a great way to show that you value their interests, too. We hope this list has given you enough ideas to last you through the next holiday or birthday!
