We all have cyclists in our lives. A fantastic facebook group that i am part of called CHICKS WHO RIDE BIKES put the question out to the community and the people spoke. So here is a list of gifts under £20 that will be great for buying someone who rides a bike. Whether they be a weekend warrior or a humble commuter like myself, you will hopefully be inspired by some of these gift ideas that might be appreciated more than a cycling mug but won't break the bank account.
1. Coffee and banana bread
Experiences are the new materialism, sharing a coffee and a laugh together will be much more appreciated than you think. Check out this delicious and healthy snack by Big Banana Bread
2. Customised water bottle
There are a bunch of companies that allow you to customise a waterbottle with a name or image. This one is £18.50 on Not on the high street, also a seller of Goodordering: ) where you get grab a personalised water bottle holder too!
3. Bicycle bell
Even if your recipient already has their own bicycle bell you can never have too many! There are so many cool ones available, check out cyclechic's selection here.
4. Goodordering saddle bag
We are obviously biased but the Goodordering saddle bag is perfect for a cyclist of any age. It also comes with a shoulder strap so when you take it off your bike you can wear it like a bag.
5. Socks
A cyclist can never have enough pairs of socks. We love the graphic socks by London brand Look Mate who bring out limited edition socks co-designed with notable creatives. If you want to splash out a bit more you can also get your loved one a sock subscription box.
6. Cycling magazine
Cycling magazines might inspire your friend's next trip or next cycling-related investment. Magazines such as Treadlie Magazine and Cyclist Magazine are firm favourites.
7. Valve caps
Very practical little things can be fun and decorative too. You can all sorts of novelty valve caps which adds a touch of personality to any bicycle.
8. Multi-tool
A fun and practical present to get any cyclist. It might even inspire them to get more intimate with bicycle maintenance.
9. Bar tape
Bar tape is a gift that is a 'thing' as well as an experience, because the recipient of this fine present will also have the joy of putting onto their bars. Mindfulness is a key trend right now so it will probably do them good.
10. Mud Guard
If you get someone who doesn't already have a mud guard a mud guard you are also getting a gift for everyone who is riding behind them. Ass saver are a fun brand who do easy install mud guards for any bike.
So, in summary
When you are looking for a gift for your favourite cyclist, don't just think about 'things', but think about experiences too especially those that will create positive memories.
