Finding a smaller gift that isn’t tacky, or that isn’t just going to end up being thrown into the back of the wardrobe can be a tough ask, especially when it comes to cycling gifts. However, it is possible to find a more modest gift which would be warmly received, from essential bike maintenance kits to performance wear, to see out the winter months.
So whether you’re looking for Secret Santa ideas, or cycling stocking stuffers, we’ve listed a few of our personal picks below to help make your Christmas shopping a little bit easier, just don’t forget that no Christmas stocking can truly be called complete without a bag of chocolate coins!

- MO-94
- Biodegradable Wet Lube
Maintain peak performance all day with Veloforte energy bars
Making the most of your time in the saddle is as much about nutrition, as it is about the bike and apparel. There are few things worse than tackling a gruelling climb into a headwind on an empty stomach, so taking precautions to make sure you'll always have gas in the tank is vital.
Energy bars are the most convenient way to refuel, allowing you to take on board essential carbohydrates to keep your energy levels topped up as you ride. Veloforte Energy Bars are the perfect accompaniment to a long day in the saddle, acting as a practical meal replacement which you can use to refuel on the go, allowing you to recover until you reach your destination for a well-deserved pub-lunch.

Finally, for the cyclist who has everything...
