Christmas is my favourite occasion/season; the Christmas music, hot chocolate, gifts, gatherings, food.. I love it all. But the one biggest headache during this time of the year is, what gifts should/can you get for your cyclist friend(s)? So here are 5 gifts you can consider!
Sunglasses
You can’t have enough sunglasses. Cycling sunglasses are specific for the sport. They are lightweight, grips around the right areas and made of specific materials to ensure no chafing. Here are some sunglasses you can look at:
–
– 100% Glendale Sport Performance Cycling Sunglasses
– SMITH Wildcat Sunglasses
– Oakley Sutra Sunglasses
Shokz OpenRun Pro Bone Conduction Sport Headphones
The Shokz OpenRun Pro comes in 4 colours; black, blue, pink & beige. I personally have the pink one. When you’re out on the road and cars are going past you, it’s just safer to have these open-ear headphones so that you can still hear your surroundings. As a musician and audio personnel, although the bass and overall sound may not be the best, safety still triumphs when I’m riding. The headphone sits comfortably and securely on your ear and boast up to 10hours of call/music time!
Sun Screen
One of the best things you can buy for a cyclist who cycles in the day. I personally spend a lot of time in the sun and sometimes when you are riding and going against the wind, you don’t feel the heat of the sun on your skin so you tend to be able to go on for hours on the ride, only to find that you become “chaota” burnt at the end of it.
I highly recommend THIS sun spray that I am currently using; not sticky, convenient spray-form, made in Japan, super fuss-free!
Here’s also an article on the sun screen / sun blocks that I use on a regular basis on and off my rides: Sunblocks I Use For Cycling
Rapha Rainproof Handlebar Bag
If your cyclist friend/fam likes to ride long distances across borders, this handlebar bag may come in handy, can put all the “linglinglonglong” inside. Designed to be strapped onto the bike’s handlebar, this bar bag also features a stowable cross-body strap. It comes in a really nice black as well as mustard colour for the hip one!
Gift Vouchers
The best if you don’t know what they actually need/want (or they are ♍️). If you know that they tend to/always shop for a certain brand, approach the shops for a gift voucher! Here are some shops I shop at:
