Christmas should not be reduced to presents - we don't want that either! But if you're going to exchange nice things in the form of well-meant parcels at the festive season, then please give and receive gifts that bring real joy to life. And for a cyclist's life, these are the ingredients for a brilliant bike year 2025.
We have paid close attention to this when selecting our 24 gift tips. The ideas either have a special added value for cyclists or are particularly original, so that you can really surprise even die-hard cyclists with them. We have also highlighted in red who in the cycling community you can make particularly happy with them. We have deliberately left out products that have to be particularly well-fitting or compatible with the bike. Merry Christmas - and happy giving!
24 gift ideas for cyclists
Bike accessories
Mobile phone holder from "Feschd": Smart(phone) on the handlebars
MYBIKE has been testing the newcomer in this segment for six months - without any problems! The clever mobile phone holder uses an extra-strong neodymium magnet to hold the smartphone in place particularly "feschd" - Swabian for "firm"! The holder protrudes forwards and is therefore not as tall as others. Price: from 49 euros >> e.g. available here
Ideal for anyone who uses their mobile phone for navigation while cycling, for example, top accessories such as mobile phone cases!
Topeak mobile phone holder "Ridecase": Keeps everything in view
Another mobile phone holder, but this one doesn't need to be glued or have a cover that fits the mobile phone. The mobile phone is held by silicone loops at the corners; no problem even with large models, and no problem with shocks either. If you still have some budget left: With the "Ride Case Mount", the mobile phone can be integrated and aligned even more elegantly on the bike. Price: 29.95 euros each >> e.g. available here at a reduced price.
Thanks to clever mounting, the holder also fits on handlebars, e.g. of pedelecs, where there is little space due to the light and on-board PC.
Topeak "Ratchet Rocket Essential": Minitool 2.0
Is your boyfriend, girlfriend or relative still using a classic folding tool or even the old-fashioned "bone"? Then it's time for an upgrade. The ten tool bits in the aluminium tool, which weighs just 16 grams, cover all common bolts on the bike apart from the axle nuts, but are much easier to handle than folding tools, and you have more leverage. Price: 39.95 euros >> available here at a reduced price.
Every cyclist who does not already own a mini ratchet or no tools at all needs this set.
Ergon rear-view mirror RM-Touring: Rear view without dislocation
Keeping an eye on the road behind you, even if your neck hurts when you look round or you're not quite as safe on the bike? Rear-view mirrors on bikes may still have an image problem, but for many cyclists they could solve such safety problems. The one from Ergon not only offers an undistorted wide-angle image, but can also be folded into a "parking position". Price: 39,95 Euro >> available here at a reduced price.
The mirrors fit on any straight handlebar, the target group tends to be pleasure and sporty riders.
Finish Line drive care: For those who don't like maintenance
The "Premium bike care value pack" is both a practical gift and a small criticism of the state of care. There are three bottles: a cleaner for the bike, a degreaser for the drivetrain and a special lubricant that evaporates after application and is therefore not sticky like oil. For long maintenance intervals. Price: 14.99 euros .
Commuters and everyday drivers will be particularly pleased with this clever maintenance set; an additional brush would be good!
Electric pump from Muc Off: Micro-Compressor
Especially when it's cold, every cyclist fears a flat tyre - pumping with cold hands is terrible. Electric mini compressors are the latest trend, and the "AirMach electric" from muc off is particularly compact and powerful. Barely bigger than a matchbox, its power is enough for two tyres and it takes less than two minutes to inflate. Price: 78.75 euros
Perhaps a luxury product, but a very helpful one for commuters and tourers. For all common valves.
Mini sat nav from Beeline: For the urban jungle
We have already presented the minimalist sat nav tool for every occasion. Beeline is also a perfect Christmas present for anyone who likes to take a trip on unknown terrain, is looking for an easy-to-use sat nav for the city or wants to discover something new using the compass function. Pair your mobile phone, enter your destination and off you go! Price: 109.99 euros >> available here.
Great tool for people who don't want to learn how to navigate.
Crash sensor with emergency call from Tocsen: Fast crash assistance
Cyclists are often travelling alone and if something happens, they are on their own. It's good if you can still call someone and ask for help. If this is no longer possible, the Tocsen crash sensor and smartphone can do the job - simply stick them on the helmet and pair the two devices. Price: 69.95 euros >> available here.
This gives away real safety, especially for those who like to drive for themselves, and not just in the big city.
Cycling clothing
Löffler Cycling Undershorts Transtext light: Hidden comfort
Cycling shorts with an integrated seat pad are the basic component for comfort on both short and long distances. No seams in the crotch and better pressure distribution are also less noticeable - as pants. We particularly liked the Löffler: the padding is not too thick, and the trousers themselves made of "Transtex" are so airy that you hardly feel them, and so stretchy that they follow your every movement. 3 sizes | Price: from 39.99 euros.
For the handlebar tape and belt duo, the recipient should be a bit of an extrovert and be able to wrap handlebar tape.
Designer belt from Nabico: partner look
The Italians from Nabico produce stylish, high-quality handlebar straps. In spring, they had a selection of them sewn onto leather belts, so you could go out with your gravel bike in a partner look. The small series has since sold out and new designs are due to be added to the online shop at the end of November. Perhaps the most unusual of all fashion accessories, our style tip! Price: from 69.90 euros
For the handlebar tape and belt duo, the recipient should be a bit of an extrovert - and be able to wrap handlebar tape.
Retro jerseys from NED: garb of the champions
Sometimes cyclists in sporty clothing are teased: too colourful, too tight, too professional! The opposite is true when you wear the iconic designs of past racing bike eras. And the Dutch company RetroRadtrikots has dozens of them. All the big teams of the sixties and seventies are represented, but with modern functional textiles. Sympathy to wear! Prices: 59.50 euros (jersey) / from 109.50 euros (complete set)
Rather a special gift for all nostalgic and sporty bikers. Can make a great impression for riding or as decoration.
Bike hoodies from Spreadshirt: in the spirit of the bike
If you're a real fan, you want to show your passion in everyday life too. However, jumpers and T-shirts with cycling motifs are not quite so widespread. Textile print specialist Spreadshirt offers a really cool selection. We stopped counting after 200 motif and hoody combinations. And the very best thing about Christmas: The designs can be personalised - making the gift giver immortal! Price: around 47.99 euros (hoodies)
Nobody can do without T-shirts or jumpers, so they always fit, you just have to know your size.
Accessories from Spreadshirt: eye-catchers
In addition to jumpers and shirts, the people at Spreadshirt also print hats, socks, caps and scarves. If a bike on your chest is too much for you, you can give the gift of joy or show your fandom with these little accessories. The motifs are stylish and never go over the top, so even non-insiders can give them as gifts. Prices: on average 24.99 euros
Spreadshirt has many more beautifully designed pieces of jewellery for every bike fan, it's worth a visit!
High-tech "REV" sunglasses from React: faster than blinking
We've saved one special treat until last, the 24 on the calendar, so to speak. The "Rev" sunglasses have also been featured in MYBIKE before, but they stand out from other self-tinting glasses so much that they belong on this list, despite their steep price. The difference is the time it takes for the lenses to darken from almost transparent to dark enough for high-altitude sun. A tenth of a second! This is not only pleasant for the eyes, this function increases safety many times over, especially in the forest or on fast descents! Other models tint so slowly that the adjustment of the goggles and eyes overlap and it becomes too dark or too light. With the "Rev" or its semi-rimless sister model "Optray", even rapid extreme changes in light are no longer a risk. Compared to fashionable glasses costing 200 euros without any self-tinting, the price is even favourable. The sensor is located at the top of the bridge of the nose and does not need to be charged. Two widths, two frame colours and four lens colours | Price: 329 euros
Theoretically, every cyclist can use these glasses, off-road riders, sporty gravel bikers and light-sensitive people will be most pleased! Women should opt for the narrow version.
Bikecover from Velosock: Stylish giant socks
The purpose of the Velosocks is not always obvious at first glance. But anyone who has ever wanted to take their bike to their hotel room, put their dirty gravel bike in the estate car or has their bike hanging in their flat will love this clever idea. You can quickly make your bike and dirt disappear. Available in many designs at velosock.com, but the best is a custom design from Parax. Price: from 69.99 euros
Great creative gift item for anyone travelling with their bike or keeping it at home.
Cycling gifts: care and fitness
"Chamois" bum cream from Assos: bliss for the back
Seat problems are the main reason for cancelling longer tours or even minor aversions to cycling. A good seat cream reduces friction and prepares the skin for the increased strain. Cycling clothing specialist Assos offers one of the best. Ideal, by the way, in combination with bike shorts with inserts. Price: 23.00 Euro / 200 ml >> at Mountain friends or Rosebikes available.
Seat cream should be used on longer journeys and together with cycling clothing - not for commuting in jeans!
The second skin from Xenofit: for thin-skinned people
Deer tallow is an insider tip among extreme hikers against friction and pressure points all over the body. The Xenofit "Second Skin" cream can be used not only in the saddle area, but also in shoes, in the neck area, under protectors, etc. The cream is absorbed extremely slowly and makes the skin "leatherier" for a short time. Small gift, big effect. Price: 7,90 Euro / 125 ml >> available here.
For anyone who has ever complained about pressure points and chafing. Also works under "civilian" clothing.
Blackroll Releaser massage tool: Deep relaxation at home
Blackroll is better known for its fascia rollers, but its elegant "Releazer" goes two steps further. The wooden stick with two differently rounded sides plus the edges is pushed along the tense muscles, while the core vibrates extremely pleasantly. This allows you to knead and rub hard tours out of your body yourself - preferably with each other. Price: 149.90 euros.
A wellness tool for anyone who wants to exercise and look after their body while cycling.

Motif mugs from Cyclebean: for coffee without a ride
Cycling and good coffee have somehow belonged together for decades. An above-average number of cyclists and cyclists are real coffee freaks, whether it's to boost their circulation or to finish off a cycle tour. And what better way to enjoy a cappuccino or espresso at home than from stylish cups like those from the startup Cyclebean? 19 designs to choose from | Price: from €13.95 / item
Anyone who owns an espresso machine or a fully automatic machine will be delighted with these designer sweets.
Ergon set for perfect sitting: DIY Bikefitting

Four versions for e-bikes, touring bikes and mountain bikes as well as race and gravel. Price: from 34.95 euros >> available here at a reduced price.
For every cyclist, and if he or she has ever complained of deafness or seating problems, all the better.
The Park Tool spork: must-have tool
For all non-insiders: Park Tool is one of the brands for professional bike tools and has almost cult status - especially because of funny tools like the spork. Not for repairing, but still somehow practical, it's sure to bring a smile to the face of every bike fan! Price: 13,50 Euro >> available here.
A cult item for all bike fans and mechanics who already have everything really practical in their workshop.
Park Tool PZT-2 Pizza cutter: For cutting into eighths
Like the spork, the pizza cutter from top tool brand Park Tool also has the potential to become a cult accessory - in the kitchen. The high wheel design provides the practical handle, with which you can apply real pressure to the stainless steel wheel and cut even thickly baked pizzas into eighths. In contrast to many other variants, it is therefore also of real practical use. Price: 23 euros >> available here.
An inexpensive and original gift for any cycling enthusiast who likes pizza, sandwiches or tray bakes.
Stainless steel bottle "Podium": Noble - clean - chic
Bike bottles are available for single-digit amounts, but the contents taste of plastic, the expensive bike doesn't look good with them and they rarely seal properly. The stainless steel bottle from Camelbak looks really good, is much more hygienic and looks great on any bike, especially with its steel look. Cyclists rarely treat themselves to something like this, which makes it a great gift for us. Two versions in 500 and 650 ml | price: 34.99 and 39.99 euros >> at Mountain time or Rosebiks available
The colour matches every bike, but there are more, holds best in plastic bottle cages, in metal it can rattle.
Premium services from Komoot: map, course and compass
Komoot is one of the best-known outdoor routing services of our time. The vast majority of cyclists and hikers make do with the free basic functions, but with a relatively inexpensive additional subscription you can buy worldwide and much more detailed maps for life. And with a premium subscription, you get a number of additional functions, especially when it comes to saved tracks. Prices: 29.99 euros (world package), 4.99 euros / month (Premium)
Anyone who regularly goes on new tours and takes the bike with them when travelling will love this gift! Price-performance tip!
