If you’ve observed your cyclist shoving all kinds of things into the back pockets on their jersey, this top tube bag from Revelate will give them a more convenient place to carry their snacks and cell phone. They’ll be a lot more comfortable without overstuffed pockets.

If you're buying for someone who likes to do their own maintenance, a bike stand is a truly helpful gift. Instead of flipping their bike over on its handlebars or trying to balance it up against a wall, they can simply lift it up and clamp it to this stand. We love giving this to our cycling friends–it's the gift that keeps on giving.

Every cyclist gets a flat tire now and then. In those moments, we all wish we had a portable mini air compressor like this one. Unlike other electric pumps that have to be plugged into your car, this one features a rechargeable battery and a USB charging port, so you can use it anywhere. It’s also powerful enough to inflate a car tire, and even doubles as a flashlight and a power bank to charge your phone or other small devices.

Pair this pump with a simple patch kit for emergency flats when far away from electricity, and your person will be ready to fix their tires anywhere.

If your cyclist is making repairs at home, they should have a floor pump. It makes tire swaps and tube changes easy to handle in the garage. This pump from Vibrelli inflates tires up to 160 PSI, with a gauge for accurate filling. It easily switches between Presta and Schrader valves, and comes with a puncture-repair kit.

My very surly but wonderful bike mechanic at Bicycle Roots in Brooklyn, NY gave me one of these lights last winter. (He wanted me to test it to see if he should start carrying them in his store.) After using it for a couple months, my answer was yes.

It’s perfect for the cyclist who already has a bunch of things attached to their handlebars, as it serves as both a powerful light and a mount for a bike computer.

Are you tired of your cycling partner always asking you to stuff their keys, phone, and wallet in your backpack? Give them a new bike basket to drop a not-so-subtle hint. This classically stylish woven bicycle basket mounts to most handlebars with the two adjustable leather straps, and makes the perfect addition to any beach cruiser.

If the cyclist in your life also has a four-legged best friend (of the small canine, feline, or bunny variety), they’ll love this small bike basket and pet carrier. It has a quick release to easily install and remove, and it doubles as a convenient tote bag if you make a stop. The bag supports up to 11 pounds, so this is for pint-sized pets only.

If your cycling pal or loved one is still storing their money, credit cards, and cell phone in plastic bags to avoid ruining their wallet, they’ll love this zippered, waterproof phone wallet from JRC. It has space for a phone, keys, and a separate coin compartment. There’s also room for some cycling tools, such as a CO2 canister and tire levers. And the whole thing fits easily into a back jersey pocket.

Texting and biking is just as dangerous as texting and driving. I personally keep my phone on silent all the time and ignore it, but many of my cycling cohorts use a phone mount so they can see when people call or text them and pull over to answer if it’s an emergency. It’s also the safest and easiest way to use your phone’s GPS–Google Maps, Apple Maps, etc.–if you aren’t using a dedicated bike computer. This universal mount from Roam latches onto your phone with silicone netting, so it supports most models.

My cycling friend, Tom, insists on using both phone and cycle computer while on rides because he “doesn’t fully trust either.” If your biking loved one is similarly distrustful (or actually, unlike me, tends to answer their phone, they’ll appreciate a convenient spot to keep their phone.

If you have a biking buddy who loves to make riding videos with their phone, you should get them a GoPro action camera, which they can mount to their bike. This way, they can keep both hands on the handlebars, and film without worrying about breaking their phone.

The newest model, the GoPro 11 Black, can shoot in up to 5.3K resolution at 60 frames per second, or you can bump it down to a lower resolution (like 1080p or 4K) to enable up to 8x slow-motion. It can also shoot crisp 24.7 megapixel still photos.

Since it's built for shooting on the run (or the ride), it features automatically adjusting image stabilization to make sure that a bumpy road doesn’t ruin your shoot.

They’ll need a mount to install it on their bike. Luckily, there are plenty of good, cheap options, like this one from Surewo, that you can throw in with it. Just be prepared: You will be asked to watch endless hours of their “cool bike footage.”

Do you know a cyclist who loves to go on bikepacking adventures? Send them off with this 14-liter waterproof seat pack from Revelate. It attaches easily to most bikes via the seat post and seat rails and has a rolled, expandable closure, which means the size is adjustable depending on how much stuff is inside. Fully expanded and packed there’s room enough for a change of clothes, toothbrush and toothpaste, a camp towel, a first aid kit, and a rain jacket.

A couple years ago, I decided to ride by myself from New York City to Boston over Independence Day weekend. I carried everything I needed for the two-day trip in this Revelate bag. I also showed up at my brother’s wedding on Long Island via bike with my formal attire, heels, toiletries, and a pair of PJs in the same bag.

On normal commuting days, I use it to stash my bike tools, but there’s always ample room to pick up something from the store on the way home.

If you’re worried about your friend, family member, or partner riding at night, this bright USB rechargeable headlamp will make sure that they can see, and help others see them. It has five modes, high, medium, low, daytime hyper constant, and pulsing.

At 800 lumens, the wide beam can illuminate an unlit dark country road on high. Even during the day, the constant mode works well as a running light to attract the eye of nearby drivers.

It’s surprisingly tricky to find a good way to listen to music on a ride. You should never ride with headphones on–it’s a safety hazard–but I also find riders that blare music while biking around the city to be generally disruptive and distracting.

For outdoorsy riders planning tackling epic climbs on roads with little traffic or long rides away from civilization, this wireless mini speaker features a carabiner-style clip that can latch onto their handlebars. It offers an estimated 10 hours of battery life, offering them a full day of tunes on and off the trail.

If you worry about your loved one out on their bike and want to make sure they can track approaching cars, Garmin’s Varia radar taillight might give you a little more peace of mind. Using a smartphone app, the red smart light provides noise and vibration alerts when vehicles approach from up to 153 yards away.

It also provides daylight visibility of up to 1 mile, making them more visible to drivers coming towards them from behind.

This bikepacking specific tent from Big Agnes will change your cyclist's life if they love to ride all day and camp out at night. Most standard backpacking tents have poles that are too long to fit easily onto a bike, but the Copper Spur has tent poles that collapse down to a mere 12-inches, making it easy to store.

It also weighs less than 3 pounds and fits on even the narrowest of handlebars when packed down. Plus, it has built-in fabric loops that make it easy to pack and remove from the bike.

"Looking good, feeling good" is not a motto that should be reserved for beach chill sessions. With these sport shades from Spy, your cyclist can protect their eyes and see better than ever before on long-distance rides, and look sharp doing it.

The rimless frame not only looks good, it also maximizes your field of view, so you can spot any potholes or tree trunks that stand in your path before it's too late. Gift a pair to a friend, and you'll probably want a different color for yourself.

I would assume that most cyclists already own a water bottle. The question is; do they have a great one? If your cycling buddy complains about a leaky water bottle or their water heating up, then hook them up with this insulated bottle from Camelbak.

It’s insulated to help keep water ice cold, no matter how hot it gets. It’s the perfect size for a bike cage, and features Camelbak’s “Jet Valve” sport cap, which makes it especially easy to take a quick sip mid-ride.

If you have a loved one who insists on biking in all sorts of weather, or rides in car traffic, give them a taillight to make sure drivers can see them clearly. These lights have a steady on mode plus two different flashing patterns to ensure visibility. I use two on the back of my bikes when commuting, one on each side of the wheel. They easily attach to any bike using a rubber mount and plastic band, so it’s a perfect gift if you don't know much about their gear.

This simple yet useful coffee holder from Portland Designs makes a perfect gift for your caffeine and bike loving family member or friend. The Bar-ista comes with two clamp sizes to fit most any kind of handlebar and the simple, alloy, round holder provides a place for your java lover to securely stash their coffee cup or travel mug/bottle.
