Buying presents for a cyclist can be a nightmare. They’re either incredibly picky, already equipped to the teeth… or both. To make life easier, here’s a selection of genuinely useful gifts-stuff that’s been ridden, tested, and proven to make winter miles (on and off the bike) better.

POC Helmet Deals

POC’s reputation for comfort and safety speaks for itself, and with current Sigma discounts, they’re great value. Road, gravel or MTB-there’s a lid for every rider.

Multitool

Small, essential, and endlessly handy. Even if they already own one, a spare is never wasted, it’ll live in a jersey pocket, car glovebox, or workshop drawer.

Overshoes or a Quality Winter Jacket
