We've curated a brilliant selection of 12 thoughtfully chosen product recommendations that are sure to bring joy to any cycling enthusiast this Christmas. From essential accessories to innovative gadgets, we've got you covered.
1. Osprey Packing Cubes đ
For both cyclists that take their bike and those that do not, having a way to separate your cycling kit and equipment out into bags makes life so much easier. These packing cubes from Osprey hit the bill, and since they are black, if some pesky chain lube gets on them, it should not be an issue.
They also compress down, which is perfect for cycling kit that extremely easy to compress and get the most out of the space you have.

No cyclist can have enough multitools for their bikes. You always need one, just incase something happens, or you need to help out a fellow cyclist. This high quality tool from Topeak has a Ratchet system along with most of the common hex and tx sizes you will need.
The ratchet system allows for efficient and consistent tightning, and the small form factor means that you get a lot of bang for buck. The extra tyre levers are an excellent touch. It will make re-assembling or disassembling a bicycle a peace of cake, and the ratchet system means you can get into tight and small areas.

3. Lezyne Strip Drive Rear Bicycle Lightđ
Most of Europe sees short dark days around Christmas. We want our loved ones to be safe, and modern intelligent lights such as this one from American company Lezyne is one of the best in town.
There are studies that show that lights make a big difference to road safety, and we agree.
Offering 300 lumens of visibility in a fast charging USB-C socket, it's the sort of light that you can rely on and take with you anywhere. The quick release rubber band means you take it with you when you lock your bike up, and 270 degrees of visibility. It also has multiple settings meaning you can change it from daybright mode.
This reliable light makes it into the list as a solid gift for any cyclists.
4. Lezyne Pocket Driveđ
Punctures are one of the worst things about cycling. That deflating feeling when you're on the group ride, or a bad quality pump that you find out does not work when you need it most.
This Christmas, give confidence and gift a good quality micro bicycle pump that you can take with you anywhere.
5. PowerBar Energize - Banana Punchđ
Cyclists need to fuel their rides whatever the weather or intensity to get the most out of them. However, sometimes the nutrition can become boring and leave us sick of the taste of the same thing. These Energize Bars from PowerBar are a favourite, particularly in the Banana flavour. It gives you a fresh taste in a great texture which we always look forward to on our rides.
Rather than a selection box this Christmas, why not consider some cycling nutiriton to make goals more achieveable?
