Check valves and mounts
Pumps depend on valve type, and bags and lights need somewhere to attach, so take a quick look at their bike.

Makes rides safer
Lights and a well-fitting helmet matter on every ride. They suit commuters and weekend riders alike.
Solves a common hassle
Flat tyres and loose bolts happen to everyone. A pump or multitool means fewer rides cut short.
Suits how they ride
Road riders, mountain bikers and commuters need slightly different gear. Check what they ride most before you choose.
Easy to carry
Riders love gear that fits a jersey pocket or bike bag. Compact gifts come along on every ride.
Gift-giving tips
Take care with helmet sizing
Helmets are sized by head circumference, so measure if you can or check the size of a helmet they already own.
Spares are never wasted
An inner tube, a second light or a spare bottle is always handy, even for riders who seem to have it all.

Help it last
- Recharge USB lights before they run flat and store them indoors.
- Replace a helmet after any crash, even if it looks undamaged.
- Wipe tools dry after use to keep rust away.
- Hand wash gloves gently and let them air dry away from direct heat.

Frequently asked questions
What do you buy a cyclist who already has the bike?
Focus on the gear around the bike. Lights, a saddle bag with a multitool and a reliable pump are useful for any rider, and you don't need to know much about their set-up to choose them. A helmet is a great gift too, provided you can get the size right.
What's a good gift for a beginner cyclist?
Beginner riders often start with the bike and little else. A helmet, a front and rear light set and a pump cover the essentials for safer riding. A small saddle bag with a spare tube and tyre levers means a flat won't end their ride early.
How do I buy a bike helmet as a gift?
Helmets need to fit snugly, so try to find out their head circumference or check the size of a helmet they already own. Choose a style that suits how they ride, such as a road helmet for fitness rides or a city helmet for commuting. Helmets worn on Australian roads need to meet the Australian standard, so look for that certification.
Which bike pump should I choose?
A floor pump is the easiest way to keep tyres at the right pressure at home, while a mini hand pump or CO2 inflator can ride along for roadside flats. Check whether their bike uses Presta or Schrader valves, although many pumps handle both. If they have neither kind of pump, a floor pump for home is a great place to start.
What are good small gifts for cyclists?
A rear light, tyre levers, a bottle cage or a compact multitool all make useful small gifts. Cycling gloves are a nice touch if you know their size. They're easy to wrap and useful from the very next ride.
