With the dark evenings setting in and Christmas fast approaching, the race is on to work out what to buy for your loved ones. If you’‘ve got a cycling fanatic in your family or circle of friends, there is a whole range of bike accessories that are sure to be the perfect treat this Christmas. Here we have put together a list of what we feel are the top 5 cycling accessories which will make great practical gifts for any cycling enthusiast. 1. Bike Lock Having their bike stolen is every cyclist’‘s biggest fear and therefore it’‘s essential to ensure the cycle is secure at all times, especially at night. For maximum security and safety, consider buying a heavy duty chain lock and a shackle lock. The Sold Secure rating used by the major lock manufacturers provides a good indication of the lock’‘s performance and quality. Bike locks can achieve Gold, Silver or Bronze rating which denotes how long it will take a potential thief to breach the lock. 2. Bike Bag Bike bags are the most practical solution for cycling enthusiasts to carry equipment and personal belongings on their bike. Because there are many different types of storage bags that cyclist can mount to their cycle and each type has pros and cons, we recommend you speak to the person you are buying the present for in order to understand their preferences. 3. Bike Lights Bike lights are the ideal accessory to improve the rider’‘s safety and they are a must have for all cyclists when riding between dusk and dawn or in unfavourable weather. As well as enabling cyclists to see the road they are travelling on, they also improve their visibility for motorists using the same road. 4. High Visibility Clothing Cyclists find high visibility clothing essential to help others be aware of their presence. This type of clothing has highly reflective quality which makes cyclists stand out and therefore further improves safety on the road. You will be able to choose among a wide range of high visibility clothing including brightly coloured jackets, vests, waistcoats and polo shirts. 5. Bike Computer A bike computer is a great gadget which any bike enthusiast would love to find under the tree this Christmas. Bike computers enable cyclists to monitor distance ridden, speed, temperature and even RPM. GPS cycle computers have also become increasingly popular to keep fit as well as keeping cyclists from getting lost.
