Here are some great picks for the cyclist in your life. 

Bike Lights

Safety is paramount for every cyclist, and bike lights are crucial for visibility in low-light conditions and winter cycling. They aren’t just for night rides; even on overcast days, lights help ensure riders are seen by cars and pedestrians.

Gift Tip: Opt for rechargeable front and rear lights that are easy to install and provide various modes, from steady beams to flashing signals.

Popsicle Pannier

These are not your ordinary panniers. Popsicle pannier bags stand out for their vibrant colours and unique designs. Ideal for the cyclist who wants to carry groceries, work essentials, or picnic supplies in style, these bags easily clip onto bike racks and are just as functional off the bike as a backpack.

 Gift Tip: Definitely opt for the Popsicle Duo Backpack for anyone who may be using the pannier for work and everyday use. The ease at which it clips on and off the bike makes it the perfect work bag. Plus the internal laptop sleeve ensures computers are protected!

Puncture Repair Kit

A flat tire can ruin a perfect ride, but a well-prepared cyclist is an unfazed cyclist. Repair kits and lightweight tire levers are lifesavers, ensuring a puncture is a minor inconvenience rather than a disaster.

Gift Tip: At under €10 these are a perfect Kris Kindle for the cyclist in your office or a great stocking filler for a cycling sibling!
