Gift Ideas for Cyclists
Whether you're thinking of treating yourself, planning on dropping some hints, or looking for the perfect gift for the cyclist in your life we have something to suit!
Give the gift of perfect fit
Bike fitting is very much at the heart of Bespoke, and we believe that there's no better way to ensure happy, healthy, efficient cycling than a bike fit, no matter what your riding goals.
It's not just for new bikes - our Existing Bike Fit service is a popular way to ensure that your current bike is correctly set up. There's no hard sell, it's all about using our fitter's expertise and our precise measuring tools to find the perfect fit - we then provide all the data (and can optionally make any changes required).
Our high quality embossed vouchers are printed on thick card stock and make a superb gift, redeemable in either of our London stores - the recipient can contact us to make an appointment to suit their schedule.
Carry-everywhere COMPACT inflation
The best pump is the one you have with you! SILCA's Tattico Mini is superbly engineered, as you'd expect from these masters of the pump. Alloy construction for durability, and an extending hose to reduce strain on the valve - plus an innovative heat sink and insulated grip to prevent overheating.
Comes complete with a mount to fit it unobtrusively next to your water bottle.
Take your training up a level
Indoor trainers are a brilliant way to maintain fitness through the winter months, and with modern technology they're no longer a chore. Wahoo's KOM bundle brings together their KICKR smart trainer with the innovative CLIMB gradient simulator - bringing realistic simulation of ascents and descents to your indoor riding. Plus there's currently a £150 saving over buying the components separately.

Say it with socks
We couldn't leave them out! You can't go wrong with these as a stocking filler. Castelli's super warm Primaloft socks are designed to see you through the coldest part of the year. The 15 refers to the 15cm height - giving that little bit of extra protection, and comfortably fitting under tights or legwarmers. Cosy, but highly breathable - just what you need in a winter cycling sock.
Precise Pressure Provider
CO2 inflators are a welcome standby all year round, but especially in cold or wet weather when you really want to minimise the time spent at the side of the road. Specialized's Air Tool Gauge, as the name implies, provides an accurate readout of the tyre pressure, enabling you to get it just right. Much better than the "squeeze and guess" method, especially with modern large-volume tyres which typically run at lower pressures. The metal construction is nicely robust for chucking in a jersey pocket or saddle pack, and a thumb trigger button provides precise control.
Ultra-breathable, fully waterproof protection
We're in a bit of a golden age for cycle clothing, with the ultimate aim of "full waterproofing with great breathability" finally achieved. GoreTex ShakeDry is the new wonder fabric, and it has taken the cycling world by storm. Castelli's Idro Pro 2 combines this awesomely efficient material with a race cut and a wealth of useful features. Read Barry's review via the link below. He was impressed!
Winter Warmth
We could easily fill an entire list with Pas Normal Studios winter gear, they have everything from socks to skull caps, gloves to gilets. But every cyclist needs a proper cold conditions base layer in their wardrobe, and the Control Heavy is a favourite, using Polartec PowerWool to give plenty of breathable insulation without bulk.
Our favourite gravel/adventure seat pack
You've got your multi-tool, your spare tube, your CO2 inflator - now you need somewhere to keep it all - neatly tucked away but easily accessible. That's where SILCA's seat roll comes in. Mounting beneath your saddle, with the BOA twist-lock system (tried and tested on cycling shoes) providing secure retention, easy adjustability to avoid rattling, and quick release when required. This is what you'll see on many of our own bikes, it's extremely well made and exceptionally well thought out.
and if that's not enough...
If you're unsure of the ideal gift for the cyclist in your life, our gift vouchers are the perfect solution. Available in a range of different values (custom amounts available on request).
They can be used for any of the products we sell, as well as for our bike fitting and workshop services. Redeemable in either of our London stores.
