Out of all the bike-riding crowd, I feel like cyclists are the easiest to shop for. Mountain bikers buy whatever they need, bikepackers are famously picky about their gear, but roadies? Hand them a fresh kit or the latest multi-tool innovation and they’re thrilled.

But if you need help coming up with ideas, I’ve got you. This guide pulls together a bunch of my favorite cyclist-approved gifts from tasty snacks to keep them fueled, to gear I actually use, to a few things that’ll help them survive the winter months.
