Christmas Gift Ideas for Cyclists 2016

I use a 0.5L Urban Bottle from Italian brand 24Bottles, on a daily basis. I used a 1L bottle on the 'Coasts and Cols' tour, to add extra water carrying capacity. In fact, I don't think there has been a day since I first reviewed 24Bottles on the blog, when I haven't used one of their products. Their range of bottles look great, and drinks from them taste so much better than from plastic bike bottles. Now that the Urban Bottle is available in my favourite 'Flame Orange' colour, I'm a complete convert. The 24Bottles Party Cups are also seriously eco-friendly, and super nice to use.

The Unior Tools Pro Home Mechanic Tool Set was a stellar review item earlier this year. It contains pretty much every tool that you could need; for both road bike and mountain bike mechanics. It is all made to an impeccable quality level, and housed in this very smart case. The kit would be a superb gift for any home mechanic.

It is bold. It is orange. It has probably the highest safety rating of any road cycling helmet on the market today. The POC AVIP Octal Helmet is a marmite product. I love it.

Restrap Bikepacking Luggage

Both the seatpack and the framebag from Yorkshire-based Restrap bags, are beautiful pieces of riding luggage. Handmade in their small batch production facility; every bag is unique. Equipped with waterproof zippers, paracord lashing systems, and a build quality that will last a lifetime - this is quality bikepacking kit. Both the framebag and seatpack served me well on the 'Coasts and Cols' tour.

Wahoo ELEMNT GPS Bike Computer

The Wahoo ELEMNT Bike Computer has won me over. It is incredibly easy to set up, using the partner mobile App; then once you've got it customised, it is even easier to use and review data. I took it on my 'Coasts and Cols' tour, and it guided me through the full 1,900 kilometres, without a hitch. Wahoo, we have a Garmin rival!

Endurance Conspiracy T-Shirts

Nice cotton t-shirts are always a fantastic gift. If they feature some cycling artwork, then that's all the better. If they have a bit of a rock-and-roll theme too, then they are a sure fire winner! The range of tees from Endurance Conspiracy features many of my favourites.

Thule Stir 35 Rucksack

The Thule Stir 35 Litre Rucksack won me over; with its unique design features and innovative rain-cover. Like all other Thule products that I have reviewed, it has proven to be of an incredible quality level too, and a real pleasure to use.

Levi's Commuter Range 2016

Some great winter casual apparel. The 'Commuter Range' by Levi's features some lovely kit; from wool hoodies, to classic jeans. Winter warmers, which look great both on and off the bike.

Feedback Sports Omnium Trainer

Finally, something rather special from the guys at Feedback Sports... the Omnium indoor trainer. As the name suggests, this is a trainer that has many, many purposes: you can use it for warm-ups, cool-downs, online competing, intervals, and much more. It is light, and it packs up super small. Very cool.
