The Best Gifts for Cyclists | Holiday 2025 Gift Guide

Keep your favorite hardworking cyclist hydrated with this double-wall vacuum insulated water bottle by Bivo. Its specialized high-flow sport nozzle was designed by an ex-NASA engineer to make it easy peasy for bikers to take big swigs single-handed. Manufactured with a 100% recycled stainless steel inner reservoir, this bottle is also short and narrow enough to fit beneath the top tube of shorter bikes or bikes with unique frame shapes.

This high-tech cycling computer from Garmin is a new arrival to our site, and it’s perfect for the adventurous cyclist who needs to know where they’re going as they toggle between dusty dirt roads, gravel routes and scenic rural byways. Not only does it boast an easy-to-read full color touchscreen display, but it’s also preloaded with maps for your giftee’s next big route.

This is the gift that keeps on giving. Your favorite cyclist's riding buddies will be asking to borrow their crankbrothers F19 Multi-Tool, because this sleek little gadget has just about everything you need to earn a reputation as the mid-ride fix-it hero. The pocket-size companion comes with a range of hex wrenches, screwdrivers, a chain tool and much more—all wrapped in in a slim magnetic sleeve that doubles as a handle extension. One customer reviewer even said it was as helpful on the road as it was for home use: "Good compromise between space and having the right tool."

Our go-to bike routes are rideable from our front door, but the best rides often require a bit of drive time. That's where Thule comes in with its easy-to-use T2 Pro XTR 2-bike hitch rack. Your favorite distance rider can haul two bikes up to 60 pounds each to their location of choice. Generously spaced bike mounts facilitate side-to-side adjustments to prevent rubbing between the bike frames.

Sometimes a really good gift is simple; sometimes it's dirt: specifically the DRT e1.1 Electric Mountain Bike from Co-op Cycles. Pairing Bosch Performance Line mid-drive motor (that reaches up to 20 mph with assist) with other premium features, this Class 1 e-bike offers bonus oomph for ambitious, fun days on the trail. If your giftee is better at riding than repairing, reassure them their new DRT e1.1 comes tubeless and ready with a year of free adjustments and 20% off shop services under the co-op’s Coast to Coast Support program.

More and more singletrack trails across the U.S. are welcoming e-bikers. Help your favorite mountain lover explore them with the DRT e3.1 Electric Mountain Bike from Co-op Cycles. A feature-rich Class 1 e-bike, the DRT e3.1 has pedal assist up to 20 miles per hour and a lockable, removable battery. The bike is designed to handle everything from rolling hills to rocky and rooty switchbacks, with ease. An LED remote connects the ride to the eBike Flow app and facilitates changes in the riding mode.

Add some hip to your cyclist buddy's giddy-up with new flat bike pedals, available in fun colors. Since pedals are the point at which the power from your leg transfers to the bike, choosing the best pair for your needs can increase pedaling efficiency. The top-rated Race Face Chester pedals have been upgraded with a refined pin placement of 11 per side for better grip and easier foot adjustment. Plus, Race Face offers a lifetime warranty that includes crashes—a vote of confidence that their pedals can be put through the paces.

If giving your cycling pal a bike this holiday season is out of your price range, consider the next best thing: gift-wrapping the Hiplok SWITCH Folding Lock to keep their trusted ride safe. The sleek Folding Lock, which earned a bronze-level theft resistance rating from independent certification house Sold Secure, comes in an easy-carry package made with hardened steel bars linked with steel rivets. The entire device folds down to roughly the size of a burrito, and can be carried on body or bike frame using the Hiplok CLIP + RIDE system and innovative bracket.

This one's for the cyclist who prefers the all-in-one convenience of having both maps and apps at their fingertips. The Squeeze Rotating Smartphone Bar Mount from Nite Ize is a secure way to mount a phone on a bike for on-the-go communication. A sturdy rubber strap attaches to handlebars (or to jogging strollers, wheelchairs or even grocery carts) quickly and easily, while "squeeze arms" securely hold your phone in either landscape or portrait mode. The tool-free mount system is sturdy enough to handle even bumpy off-road rides and the exploits of curb-hoppers.

For the cyclist in your life who’s into bike touring or commuting with accessories in tow, these chic and functional waterproof panniers from Ortlieb help safeguard whatever they bring along. Compatible with both adult and child bicycles, they come in three hip colors (Black, Sun Yellow and Petrol) and can be affixed to either a front or rear rack. Combined, they provide a whopping 29 liters of storage space, similar to a large daypack, so the cyclist on your shopping list can lug everything from tents to laptops and groceries in style.

If you’ve got a family member or bestie who’s just starting to get into the trending sport of gravel biking, the Co-op Cycles Adv 2.1 bike offers some more premium features—like a full carbon fork and plenty of accessory mounts—at a wallet-friendly price. Designed for the beginner or intermediate cyclist, this bike is spec’d out with 700c x 45 mm tires and a clutched rear derailleur, to keep its chain safe and secure when the path gets rugged. Notably, this 10-speed is available in five different sizes, so you can dial-in the perfect fit for the rider.

What to give the bike aficionado who has it all? Easy: a Sicuro Titanium bottle cage made with handmade, aerospace-grade, seamless titanium tubing from Italian-born, American-based bike brand Silca. The elongated slotted mounting eyelets give the user 21 mm of fore/aft play to ensure perfect positioning for on-the-go sipping, but it's the cage's featherweight (a mere 30 grams) that make this techy bottler holder a standout.

Have a cyclist and pun-lover on your list? Give this gift idea a spin: Tell them they light up your life with a visibility-boosting bike light from Night Ize. The SpokeLit Disc-O Select rechargeable wheel light has five color settings (red, blue, green, white and color-changing Disc-O mode) and installs quickly without tools on most bike spokes. Its dual LED bulbs last up to 6 hours on high and recharge in just 90 minutes.

Another great pick: The See'Em Mini Spoke Lights allow for a more customizable color-band aesthetic.

Give the Smith Engage 2 Mips bike helmet, which features two complementary protection technologies, to any mountain biker. The Engage 2 combines the Zonal Koroyd® impact protection system (designed to absorb more kinetic energy on impact than traditional protection materials) with extended back coverage and the Mips® Brain Protection System, which reduces rotational forces caused by angled impacts to the head. In other words, safety comes first in this helmet. And not to worry—comfort is dialed in, too.

Designed with the avid cyclist in mind, the GRVL AF 2 Apex by Van Rysel is an easy-riding gravel bike that’s versatile enough to take your giftee from long-distance desert training rides to big races and everywhere in between. A lightweight aluminum frame combines with hydraulic disc brakes to help keep the ride nimble in varying terrain. Plus, all bikes purchased from REI come with Coast to Coast Support, meaning that your giftee can get free in-store assembly help and a full year of free adjustments.

Maybe your spouse just got a new bike and you need extra storage space on the back of your sedan, or you want to bring your kid along on some sweet singletrack adventures. No matter how you choose to get out and explore, the Thule Verse 2-Bike Hitch Rack secures two bikes with wheelbases up to 53 inches to the back of most ordinary vehicles with a hitch. The 1.25-inch version of the rack can handle two bikes of up to 55 pounds each, while the beefier 2-inch model can support two bicycles up to 60 pounds each, including heavier e-bikes.

Looking to ride with the whole peloton? The Verse 2-Bike Add-On increases capacity to four bikes for the 2 in. receiver version.

The whimsical characters adorning the Nutz 2.0 KinetiCore bike helmet from Lazer are sure to make any budding cyclist (and their big people) grin. But these brain buckets offer much more than kid-approved aesthetics. The helmet includes both deep temple coverage for added protection and KinetiCore Controlled Crumple Zones that are designed to buckle in the event of direct or rotational impact during a crash. The helmet's fit system adjusts automatically for a tear-free yet secure fit. Twelve vents let a kiddo feel the wind, but a built-in insect net over the front vents keeps the bugs out. Tiny riders will dig the Lazer Pnut KinetiCore Bike Helmet - Toddlers'.

With a rear rack capacity of up to 176 pounds and up to 76 miles of range, this HSD P5i Electric Bike by Tern is the ultimate companion for bike-savvy families. Perhaps you’re in a one-car household or your giftee wants a fun ride to enjoy the sunshine as they head to the farmer’s market each weekend. Either way, the Bosch Smart System can help them increase their pedaling power by up to 340%, so they can conquer hills, schlep the kiddos, and run errands with ease.

Bigger wheels mean a little more speed and freedom to roll for a child who is growing into a larger bicycle. Co-op Cycles has modeled the REV 16 for kids after their larger-size bikes in both quality and value. The aluminum frame to this upright bike adds a little weight, but handles up to 80 pounds. That's key if you're looking for a ride that can grow with your child or be handed down from one kid to the next. And training wheels detach without tools when it's time to fly without an assist. Not to be overlooked: the fun factor. Each REV 16 comes with a bell and a pack of stickers to customize the frame. You can even mount streamers (sold separately) to the handlebars.
