We know how hard it can be to shop for friends and loved ones, but if you’re in need of gift ideas for cyclists, that’s easy for the team at Zinn Cycles. From going big with a completely custom bike to keeping things small with some accessories and components, there are loads of options when it comes to gifts for bike enthusiasts. If you’re in need of some inspiration for finding a unique gift for the bike lover in your life (or a gift for yourself), then you’re in the right place.
Hit the Books
A good cycling book never misses when you’re in need of unique gifts for bike riders. From learning how to build and assemble your own bike to reading about other cyclists’ journeys, books can help inspire and educate the passionate bike riders in your life. There are loads of authors and genres to choose from, but our library contains a vast collection of books by Lennard Zinn himself, so you can feel confident that on your list of gift ideas for your favorite cyclist, these will all be a hit.
Get Some New Swag
Cyclists always need new gear. Whether it’s thermal pants or a new reflective cycling rain coat, there are a lot of options to choose from when you’re thinking about clothing gifts. Socks, jerseys, shorts, jackets, our 40th anniversary t-shirts, and base layers are some of the options you can choose from if you’re looking to give unique gifts for bike riders. You can also get clothing specifically made for certain types of weather, so if it’s rainy and windy or hot and humid, you can provide the cyclist in your life with gear they’ll be sure to appreciate.
Choose a Bike Designed for Them
If you’re shopping for a big and tall cyclist, you may want to consider going custom with your gifts for bike enthusiasts. This could be
anything, really–a set of handlebars, tires, or even an entire hand-made titanium bike, whether it’s a non-custom Clydesdale or KHS, or a made-to-order Zinn model. Note you will need their body proportions and measurements for all custom orders.
Zinn Cycles, Clydesdale Bikes, and Big & Tall Bikes are specifically created for anyone with unique proportions that most other brands just don’t accommodate. Whether you’re looking for a comfortable seat or some simple accessories, our brands offer great gift ideas for cyclists that won’t disappoint.
Find Them Special Tires
New wheels are definitely something all cyclists will appreciate, particularly if you have seen them browsing for upgrades on their own. Because wheels take a lot of abuse on the road and trails, they often need to be replaced. On our list of gift ideas for cyclists, wheels rank pretty high because of how many options you have to choose from. You can get fat wheels, trekking wheels, cyclocross wheels, and so much more to really provide some range. Plus, wheels can be customized to suit each cyclist’s needs. Whether they’re small and short or big and tall, there is such a variety of wheels to choose from.
With these gifts for bike enthusiasts, be sure to do your research before you get a customized wheel. Certain bikes can only fit certain wheels and need specific measurements. So you’ll either have to sneak in and measure the bike or blow the surprise and ask the cyclist in your life what type of wheels their bike can use.
Get Some New Accessories
Whether it’s a cool new pair of wireless headphones or a cool decal of their favorite cycling brand, bike components and accessories are always a hit when it comes to gift ideas for cyclists. This can be a custom water bottle, new seat binders, a headset top cap, or even a new helmet to keep them safe on the road. Part of the love of cycling is the care and ongoing updates someone can make to their ride. From links in the chain to new frame parts, bikes require a lot of care, so no matter what small part or accessory you buy for the bike lover in your life, it is sure to be appreciated.
