Gift ideas for Christmas: a perfect present for every cyclist!
The Christmas holidays are just around the corner! If you are not a regular cyclist, it can be difficult to find a gift for the aunt who rides her bike to work every day or the dad who rides miles every week. To help you out, we have listed some gift ideas in this blog. We have some for all budgets. Ideal if you are still looking for a cycling gift!
Mantel's gift card
The easiest solution to gift problems: with our gift card you can give your cyclist friend a gift that is sure to please. The amount of the gift card is entirely up to you. You can choose between 10 and 150 euros, so you can indulge as much as you like!
A nice bike gift in the Christmas stocking
Are you looking for a little present for your bike that will (barely) fit in your Christmas stocking by the fireplace? Then read on!
All I want for Christmas is food
A good nutrition box will help you get the best performance from your cycling activities. With a packet of bars you can try different flavours.
Have you ever tried Mantel's sports nutrition? Now, in addition to bars, you can also choose sports gels! Also with Mantel sports drinks you can take on extra energy.
Mudguards = a dry back
Cycling in autumn or winter is wet and cold enough. So make sure you keep your cycling friend dry with a mudguard.This way, he will be more comfortable on the bike and more motivated to go for a ride in the winter months. Plus, he won't have to sit at Christmas dinner with a wet bottom!
Jingle Bells
Safety is a key issue. Many proud owners of road or mountain bikes think that it is a waste of money and that a bell on the bike is not beautiful. Nowadays, however, there are many stylish-looking bells available. In this way, every bicycle can travel many kilometres safely and in style.
If your cyclist friend doesn't like bells at all, you can always opt for a handlebar mount with an integrated bell. The bell is concealed in the handlebar mount of the cycle computer. This way cyclists can always move safely through traffic without compromising the aerodynamics or appearance of the bike.
Treat yourself to a hassle-free Christmas
If you are a regular cyclist or go on long bike rides, you will certainly have suffered a physical discomfort at least once. Scratches from a fall, chafing of the private parts or cramps in the legs: sooner or later every avid cyclist has to deal with these problems. That is why good body care products are essential and perhaps the ideal gift for the holidays.
Bike maintenance
Both beginners and experienced cyclists must ensure the correct cleaning and maintenance of their bikes. A cyclist who has properly maintained his mountain bike or racing bike will ultimately gain many benefits. After all, you know: happy bike, happy life!
With the right tools and the right maintenance products, bike maintenance can also be a lot of fun! Moreover, do-it-yourself will save you a lot of money. The cyclist friend is always happy to receive a maintenance kit.
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
All cyclists and mountain bikers in winter prefer to ride in warm and dry conditions. Winter cycling clothing is therefore equipped with high-quality padding. Below you will find some accessories that will help your cyclist friend cope with the cold this festive season!
Goodbye to cold feet
Good winter socks are indispensable during the winter months. During winter rides, it is important to keep your feet warm to prevent them from freezing. With good cycling socks, you can enjoy the winter landscape even more while riding your bike!
A gift to fight the cold
Those who do not want to go out on a bike can always opt for a home trainer. To get the best cycling experience with a home trainer, you might consider buying accessoires such as a heart rate monitor or training tyres.
Stay dry this Christmas!
This year you have decided to take your city bike or electric bike to go to Christmas dinner. On the way, however, you realise that you should have checked the weather forecast earlier. A heavy downpour could ruin your entire Christmas outfit. Obviously you don't want this to happen to anyone else either, so here are some tips to protect you and your Christmas shopping from the constant weather changes during the holidays!
Music everywhere with this gift!
Do you listen to your favourite Christmas songs all day long? Now you can do it safely even on a bike! Thanks to Aftershokz Openrun, you can listen to your favourite songs while also perceiving the sounds of your surroundings. Thanks to Shokz bone conduction technology, you can perfectly perceive both ambient sounds and your favourite music.

I am very occupied with everything that has to do with cycling in my spare time. The fact that I get to do this during my job as well makes it all the more special. Since I live in Arnhem, I like to go cycling in my “backyard” (de Posbank) with my road bike or mountain bike. Besides cycling myself, I also love to watch professional cycling on the tv. My television is doing overtime during the summer, because I like to follow all the big cycling tours like the Giro, the Tour de France and the Vuelta. It may come as no surprise that when the Giro d´Italia crossed Arnhem in 2016, I was over the moon!
