It’s not too late to find the ideal Christmas present for the cyclist in your life. Here are our top picks:
Voucher from their favourite bike shop
Supporting local small businesses is always good, and bike shops need your support. By buying a voucher from their favourite local bike shop, they can select something they really want, like a new bike (or at least the deposit), new shoes, a helmet or this summer’s most fashionable kit.
Cycling e-book
It might be too late to find a book shop with that perfect cycling book, but it’s not too late to buy an e-book like this Lonely Planet title ‘Epic Bike Rides of the World’.
Make a donation
Donate to a cycling-related charity in their name. One of our favourite bike-related charities is World Bicycle Relief, which supplies much-needed bikes to people in developing countries.
Entry into an event
An event entry provides your favourite roadie with an awesome year-long goal. Sign them up for the Mudgee Classic on Sunday, 4 May 2025, or there are plenty of other mass participation rides around Australia to choose from.
Subscription to Bicycling Australia
You know we couldn’t resist adding this one to the list. A subscription to Bicycling Australia can be organised online right up until the big day and you’ll save 45% until 31 December. And it lasts all year, so your favourite cyclist can read about all the best road gear, holidays, training tips and much more.
