Buying a gift for your favourite road cyclist can be tricky. Most roadies are fussy about what they wear and ride, so we’ve compiled a list of products we’re sure most riders will love.
Cycling glasses
Photochromatic sunglasses are the ideal way to protect your eyes while riding a bike. They start clear in the dark and gradually darken as the sun rises. These BBB Chester glasses with photochromatic lenses have a trendy frameless look with an inner frame for strength.
Jersey
You can’t have too many cycling jerseys! Every cyclist needs different looks for different rides and lighter ones for hotter days, warmer ones for winter, and so on. At Bicycling Australia, we have our Classic jerseys, but you might also like the range from our friends at Cinettica, Santini, Ciovita or Bowy Active.
Bar tape
The right bar tape can make your bike stand out from the pack, and Supercaz has a great range in a multitude of colours featuring the brand’s distinctive stars. This bright red bar tape might not be your style, but there are many others you can choose from.
Tyres
You might think tyres are a boring gift but cyclists love them because they are such an important part of every bike. And there’s so many to choose from so make sure you check the size and purpose before you place an order. Our good friends at Schwalbe have a great range of road and gravel tyres.
Socks
Socks are a great stocking filler for Christmas and cyclists need lots of them to match their favourite kit. Zeffz makes a great range of socks that are great for cycling, or you could visit our friends at Santini too.
