14 great Christmas stocking fillers for cyclists

Christmas is just around the corner so it’s time to plan that present list – whether that’s for yourself or the cyclist(s) in your life.

You’ll find a mix of practical cycling products, experience-style gifts and some for fun. So take a look and get shopping – or dropping some subtle (and not-so-subtle!) hints.

1. Stolen Goat Moshi Ibex Socks

Price: £15
Available from: Stolen Goat

Sock doping – it’s a thing. Where your socks are so cool you won’t want to hide them. Stolen Goat’s offerings will certainly get you noticed.

There are loads to choose from, but these waving goat ones are super cute and the jade green base colour is gorgeous. There’s also a matching cycling cap and neck warmer (or bandido, in Stolen Goat lingo). Members get a 15% discount, so why not go for total matching goodness and get all three?

2. Potholes and Pavements by Laura Laker

Price: £16.99
Available from: Bloomsbury

This is the story of cycling journalist and podcast host Laura Laker’s post-lockdown attempt to reconnect with cycling, as she sets off on an epic journey around the UK using the National Cycle Network.

Along the way she looks at the history of the NCN and the state of cycling infrastructure in the UK today. It’s a compelling call for better investment in active travel, and was described as “really eye-opening” by transport minister Louise Haigh.

3. VeloVixen Gloves – Zingy Untamed

Price: £25 (£12.50 at time of writing)
Available from: VeloVixen

VeloVixen has established itself as a high-quality brand for women, with a thriving online community. These colourful microfibre and cotton blend gloves are designed for those in-between days when it’s not cold enough for full-on winter gloves.

The stretchy upper and gel padding ensure they’re comfortable to wear, while the striking design means they’ll certainly attract compliments. Get the Zingy Untamed neck warmer for the full look!

Members can save 15% on VeloVixen products.

4. Hiplok Z Lok Multipack

Price: £29.99
Available from: Hiplok

You don’t always want to carry a heavy lock with you, especially if you’re only stopping briefly to pop into the shops or buy a coffee. But you should still never leave your bike unsecured.

That’s where these handy reusable zip ties from Hiplok come in. While they don’t replace a ‘proper’ lock, they’ll deter opportunist thieves while you’re on a short pitstop. Fully adjustable and 40cm long, you can even tie two bikes together.

They can also be used to help secure bikes to a car rack or attach accessories to the bike. And don’t forget that Cycling UK members can claim 20% off!

5. Decathlon Van Rysel Adult Photochromatic Cycling Glasses Perf 500 Light – Grey

Price: £44.99
Available from: Decathlon

Sunglasses aren’t just for summer. They protect your eyes from rain and grit during the winter, too. These come with photochromatic lenses so they can be worn in low-light conditions. They’re lightweight and fit nicely around your head.

Photochromatic lenses often come with a hefty price tag, but these are exceptionally good value. Even more so with Cycling UK member discount of 10%. And if you’re not looking for sunglasses, Decathlon offers a huge range of outdoor and sports gear that qualify for the discount.

6. Boots Deep Tissue Percussive Massage Gun

Price: £49.99 (available for £39.99 at time of writing)
Available from: Boots

Massage guns are increasingly popular among active people. Sports massages are often prohibitively expensive and unnecessary for most of us. These guns take up the slack – allowing active people to give themselves a pretty deep tissue massage.

This one from Boots won’t break the bank and is lightweight and solidly built. It comes with three intensity settings as well as four attachments – bullet, flat, ball and fork – making it a good all-rounder.

7. A Cycling UK gift membership

A membership to Cycling UK is perfect for all cyclists. Members get access to 12 months of advice and information, as well as exclusive retail discounts from brands such as Halfords, Asgard, Restrap and many more.

8. Experience Freedom glamping break

Price: from £59 per night

Start planning for summer with a break in a luxury glamping pod. There are locations all round the country, many of which are close to National Parks and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, making them ideal destinations for taking your bike and exploring the local area.

There are also safari tents and yurts, as well as campsites if you want to use your own tent. Cycling UK members can save £25.

9. Green Oil EcoRider Deluxe Set

Price: £79.99
Available from: Green Oil

A clean bike is a happy bike, and it’s even more important to keep your bike clean in winter to ensure its smooth running. And if it’s kept indoors, you really don’t want mud and dirty water dripping all over the floor.

Green Oil’s products are made from natural ingredients, are biodegradable and environmentally friendly. The tubs and bottles are recycled plastic. This kit contains everything you need to keep your bike sparkly clean for years to come.

10. Ortlieb Ultimate Urban handlebar bag

Cycling UK members benefit from a 10% discount on Ortlieb products.

11. Carradice Duxback Rain Poncho

Price: £97
Available from: Carradice

While better known for high-quality cycle bags, Carradice also does a nice line in clothing. This poncho is sure to get a lot of use.

It’s fully waterproof and will cover you and your bike – keeping you dry in even heavy rain while allowing freedom of movement and ventilation so you won’t get sweaty. It’s also got reflective detailing and comes with a drawstring bag for when it’s not in use.

Members get 15% off Carradice products.

12. Frog Tadpole Mini

Available from: Frog Bikes

Your first bike is a rite of passage and it’s important to get it right. Frog’s award-winning balance bikes are a great way to introduce your toddler to cycling. It’s incredibly lightweight so easy for youngsters to manoeuvre – and for parents to carry home when the young one inevitably gets bored.

The Tadpole Mini is the smallest balance bike around, while the adjustable seatpost means it’ll grow with your little one. It also comes with a 10-year guarantee. Cycling UK members get 10% off.

13. Raleigh Willow step-thru bike

Price: £550 (on sale for £300 at time of writing)
Available from: Raleigh

OK, this one is more ‘main present’ than ‘stocking filler’, but who could resist this gorgeous vintage-style bike? With a front basket and rear rack, it’s as practical as it is pretty. The step-thru frame makes it easy to mount, too.

The timeless retro look is complemented by modern components and a comfortable upright ride. Members can claim 15% off Raleigh bikes to the end of 2024.
