Even if they have other calendars, this one will be perfect for penciling in the dates of their favorite races — just so they make sure they don’t conflict with any other commitments…
For the cycling fan in your life, a calendar is a pretty safe bet. And since it lasts all year, they can feel connected to cycling even in the cold off-season months!
We love the striking illustrations in this Tour de France themed calendar available on Etsy. It includes two poster-shaped drawings per month featuring climbs and regions from the Tour de France. The online shop, VintyArty, sells a variety of cycling-themed items, so click through to their shop for more gift ideas.

2. A reliable coffee mug.
For the cycling fan who loves their morning coffee (or tea!) as much as they love cycling, a mug is the perfect gift idea. And because it’s something they can use every day, your giftee will definitely appreciate you thinking of their love of cycling in choosing a mug for them.
There are tons of fantastic cycling-themed mugs out there! We really like the ones offered by The Handmade Cyclist. These mugs are sure to stand out next to the coffee maker or strike up a conversation at the office.

If your giftee loves the Tour de France, check out these mugs themed around the Tour de France leaders’ jerseys!

This minimalistic and cute mug featuring cyclist icons is perfect for anyone who loves a clean aesthetic. The jerseys featured on the mug are inspired by real retro designs worn in the peloton!
Finally, if your giftee is one to appreciate the beautiful simplicity of how a bicycle works, then you might want to look at this last choice. The design features a schematic of the bicycle in all its mechanical glory. This one ships from Amazon, so if you are shopping last-minute, this one will be most likely to arrive in time!

3. Casual clothes.
For the cycling fan who wants to show off their interest to others and start conversations, cycling-themed casual wear is a great way to do that, and it can make a great gift. A comfortable sweatshirt or hoodie is an especially thoughtful option during the winter months. Whether they’re showing off support for their favorite team or simply want to recognize fellow cycling fans in the wild, these ideas will help your giftee represent their love for cycling through fashion!
Our number one pick are these fantastic shirts available from Ostroy. These tops can be worn on the bike or off of it, meaning that cycling fans who also love cycling get both options. From “La Caravane” to the retro jerseys, you’re likely to find something that stands out here!
Want something better for colder weather? This sweatshirt featuring a cyclist-themed design may fit the bill. The phrase “Esprit Tour” means “spirit of the Tour” — definitely something that cycling fans will like!

4. Pro team merchandise.
For a lot of sports fans, official team merchandise is a must-have. Jerseys, caps, and water bottles can be perfect gifts across a range of sports. For cycling fans, the culture surrounding team merch is different, and many consider it poor taste to wear leaders’ jerseys or team jerseys on the bike.
However, team merch stores exist, and the items you can find there allow fans of a specific team to proudly display their support. So if you know that your giftee loves a specific team, don’t miss the chance to browse their merch store for a perfect gift.
Some teams run sales during the winter holidays. You can find them by visiting their websites or storefronts!

5. A beautiful coffee table book.
Does your friend or family member love the beauty and artistry of the sport of cycling? A coffee table book may the perfect gift for them. Unlike regular books, large-size coffee table books are full of stunning pictures and digestible stories that offer a unique perspective on the world of professional cycling. Even just admiring the cover on their coffee table will be an opportunity for your giftee to appreciate!
The Art of Suffering by photographer Kristof Ramon was published in 2024 and features photos of cyclists during their most challenging and intense moments. Cycling fans know that suffering really is an art in cycling, and Ramon brings this to life with so many evocative photos in his book. This book also features a foreword by cycling superstar Wout van Aert.
In 2020, Cyclist Magazine released “Ride: The Greatest Cycling Routes in the World,” a coffee table book which is sure to wow with landscape photography. Your giftee will know many of these routes, but they may be surprised by the many places this book’s contributors ventured in search of the most beautiful and amazing cycling routes around the globe.

Finally, “The Cycling Jersey – Craftsmanship, Speed & Style” by Oliver Knight is a quirkier twist on the cycling coffee table book. If your giftee already has some books about cycling landscapes or history, this one will be a new angle. Stories and photos of famous cycling jerseys — and the races that were won in them — will be sure to intrigue anyone who cracks this book open!

6. A cycling magazine subscription.
One thing’s for sure: cycling fans like to stay up-to-date on the latest news and rider interviews. Because of this, a cycling magazine subscription can be a great choice that shows the recipient that you want them to enjoy cycling all the year through.
Each issue of a cycling magazine features expert analysis, beautiful photography, and interviews with top riders and team insiders. If you didn’t feel ready to pull the trigger on the coffee table book but still want to capture some of its elements, this is a great middle ground. A magazine subscription will help any cycling fan in your life feel connected to what’s going on in the sport!
Below are a few popular cycling magazines. You can choose based on the content, or which are readily available for delivery in your part of the world.
7. Fun board or card games.
Now let’s have a little fun! A cycling-themed board game is a nice gift for any cycling fan. Most people who aren’t interested in cycling are probably surprised that cycling board games exist! There are only a few, but we love how they bring a bit of cycling into Whether it’s a strategy game that simulates the tactics of a grand tour or a party game that tests their cycling knowledge, these games offer hours of fun for cycling enthusiasts of all ages.
The top cycling board game is Flamme Rouge, which is available from online board game stores and through Amazon. In the game, each player controls two tokens representing a domestique and a sprinter. Using cards, they have to play their strategy right to win the final sprint to the finish! Even if you don’t understand cycling tactics, this board game is super fun and would make a great gift for anyone who loves pro cycling. The Peloton expansion adds a little extra fun into the mix.

For card game lovers, don’t worry. The Pro Cycling Trumps cards would make a fun stocking stuffer at Christmas and can be used to play a range of card games. You can choose from sets that include different current pros as well as historical sets. Check them all out in their online storefront below:
8. Something small.
Sometimes all you want for a perfect gift is a little trinket or something small that’s easy to wrap up, and we have you covered. Small cycling-themed gifts like earrings or keychains make great gifts when shopping for a cycling fan, especially if you don’t want to spend a lot.
The DeskTopPeloton shop on Etsy has a range of figurines and keychains corresponding to modern riders. If your giftee has a favorite racer, you can pick up a keychain that looks like one of their notable jerseys. Or choose a small metal figurine that makes a fun addition to a desk at home or in the office.
For earrings, you really can’t beat Cycolinks’ selection. From tiny bicycles with gemstones for wheels to sterling silver cog hoops, they have so many cute options. We especially love the chain link earrings that are subtle enough to spark questions yet super cute for any cycling fan. They also have necklaces and other jewelry in matching styles, so navigate around their site to see all the possibilities!

As mentioned before, the Tour de France official shop has some fantastic items that any cycling fan would be excited to receive as a gift. This keychain featuring the Tour de France leaders’ jerseys is a favorite.

9. Wall art.
Wall art is something that we look at every day, and for cycling fans, a cycling-themed piece is an everyday at-home reminder of their interest. And there are a lot of options to consider! Photographs of races (both iconic and niche), minimalist bike designs, and even some abstract stuff… a nice piece of art adds a touch of cycling to any room.
If you liked the mugs from The Handmade Cyclist, you’ll be pleased to know they also do wall prints. We love these! Grab one of your giftee’s favorite race or rider and they’ll be happy to hang it up to enjoy every day.
