By hollisterclothingoutlet 21/05/2022 765 Views

If the first part of ideas to give to a cycling fan focused much more on the tools, cyclocomputators and almost anything with drums to connect to a bicycle, this second part of cyclists gifts is more oriented to be a gift that makeslook to the bicycle and cyclist.In this new gift guide you will find ideas of clothing accessories for cycling that you can give without much fear that they will return them, kits to pedal with cold weather and many accessories so that it stands out in an original way within its usual “group” of cyclists.

At the end of the article you also have a selection of cycling theme books that can save you more than one gift.Books that review the passion that Pedro Delgado "Perico" unleashed in the fan of this country or the biography of one of the most charisma cyclists in recent years, the Slovak Peter Sagan.I have also included true Bibles of cycling training and several books that review some of the most spectacular routes in the world (and that more than one would like to do once in life mounted on our bicycle).

Index of contents:

  • 2 Gifts for cyclists: drums, hang-bicis and other accessories.
  • 3 Gifts for cyclists: cycling literature, biographies and training books.
  • Gifts for cyclists: maillots, socks and other accessories.

    Manguitos:

    Light and very useful in spring and autumn.This accessory can avoid cold in the early hours of the day and can be stored without problems in the jersey pockets.Those of the Velochampion brand are the best selling for winter.There are also more and more summer sleeves, specifically thought to protect the skin of the sun.The best -selling of this type are the BWIV (from € 10) with anti -UPF 40+ protection and unlike what we can think, more and more cyclists who opt for this type of protection or clear long -sleeved jersey in summer are increasing, both for skin health and to improve thermal sensation on very hot days.

    Cycling vests:

    The vests (or gilet) are one of the most helped garments in not very cold climates or when the winter hard has not yet arrived.They are perfect for saving them in the back of the jersey and using them only at the beginning of the routes or when a port descends.Two of the most recognized brands are Gore, Santini, Castelli or Ale.Almost all are expensive, a little less Spiuk, but like almost all the quality clothes for cycling and keep in mind that these are garments that must last many, many years.Taking advantage of the gift and trying not to follow the current fashion of black dress when we pedal, it is a good occasion to give a vest as colorful or some with reflective elements.

    Socks for "original" cycling:

    Caña Alta socks are one of the new style icons in road cycling, either wearing Mexican skulls or bright colors.In both Wiggle and on the Santa-Fixie or Bikeinn store you will find countless models to surprise with simple socks.For the most cold, Merino wool socks are the best option.

    Winter kit (gloves/braga/pointers):

    - ADS -

    As at Christmas we can give the typical pack with gloves and scarf, that same pack can save us some other gift for any cycling fan.Winter gloves usually have anti-venting or gorex protection and among the best selling you have those of the Spiuk brand and the GORE brand.Likewise, in addition to the typical Buff panties there are also versions of Simple and double Merino wool.Nor will a hat with earmuffs or a gore-tex fabric cap under the helmet be bad.Another problem that cyclists have in winter is the cold on the feet, for this some neoprene cover in the halftime and the faster temperatures covers can also fix a good cycling gift.

    Vintage jersey:

    Ideas originales para regalar a ciclistas. Parte II

    An original idea to give nostalgic cyclists are the mails of cycling equipment of the 70-80’s of teams with mythical advertisements such as that of Reynolds or BIC.The replicas of the mailts of many classic platoon equipment can be purchased directly in Aliexpress for a price that is around € 12-14 (with 20-30 days shipments).Of course, if you want quality, the best reproductions will be found in the United Kingdom PARKYCLLISM, but at a price according to current cycling clothes, that is, high.

    Caps:

    Another "colorful" accessory to give can be a cycling cap, very essential for fresh autumn days or to avoid direct sun on the forehead during the summer.Caps are around a price between € 15-25 and also classic designs, you will have reinterpretations with more current designs such as Cinelli.

    Cycling theme t -shirts:

    I have to admit that I am not impartial here.If something loses me, and my credit card is the t -shirts related to the cycling theme.I think I have the majority of those who took Le Coq Sportif in his day to celebrate the Anniversary of the Tour.Related to the world of cycling you will find cotton t-shirts of the Tour de France itself, some very original in the Thread+Spoke store (keep in mind that the order takes 2-3 weeks) and in Bikeinn, Allricks, Santfixie and Wiggle has a catalogamplisimo of t -shirts related to the cycling world.Among all the links, surely you find a very original shirt that surprises anyone who is as crazy about the cycling culture like me.

    Cycling glasses:

    Betting on the Oakley brand is to go for sure if we want to dazzle giving specific glasses for cycling.Their models cover quite part of the face (protection against flying bugs), have a very good chromatic response with high luminosity and at the end of the day and their lenses are easily interchangeable.I have the Oakley Jawbreaker model with full frame and I am very happy with the purchase I made in its day.There are also models with a superior frame only (Oakley Radar Ev Path) and with the mountain completely in the air (Oakley Evzero Path).They are expensive glasses, but both in the English Court and in Allricks you can see discounts that are close to 50 %.

    Gifts for cyclists: drums, hang-bicis and other accessories.

    Wall supports:

    Having a bicycle gives a lot of happiness but also many space problems.With the current size of the floors, wall supports can be a fairly aesthetic solution so that it is not always supported by the ground at the entrance of our floor or garage.There are many types and prices: with drawer, more industrial, wood minimalists or complete.

    Gifts for cyclists: cycling literature, biographies and training books.

    That the Tour of France arose from the bowels of a sports newspaper is nothing but another example of the relationship between cycling and literature.Among sports chronicle, biographies and novels, the cycling culture has several very interesting readings that can be a gift more than original for any cycling fan.

    Cycling literature and biographies:

    Gregario (Charly Wegelius): one of the most realistic books about the world of professional cycling.The biography of a cyclist who never won a stage will discover the work of team corridors, those who work and sacrifice exclusively so that team leaders can get on a podium (or at least try).Of the books on cycling better valued by readers and a sure success to give it to a bicycle lover.It can be found for € 17 on Amazon and almost any bookstore with sports section.

    Sagan.My world: the newly published autobiography of one of the cyclists who has returned the illusion for cycling to many fans, for his closeness with the public and for the sense of his show.All this, without leaving aside his capacities as a cyclist that has led him to win numerous stages of the tour, three world-class worlds and mythical classics such as the Paris-Roubaix.The autobiography of the Slovak cyclist can be found in the bookstores and at Amazon from € 23 and € 9 the Kindle version.

    Lead in the pockets (Ander Izagirre): mouth mouth has led to this book reaching the fifth edition, which being a book about cycling already advances that we are facing a small "best-seller."Ander gives us a multitude of cycling stories of the twentieth century in the form of fast and very enjoyable reading chapters.100% recommendable.You can find it for € 14 on Amazon.

    Periquism, chronicle of a passion (Marcos Pereda): Marcos Pereda's book brings us to the figure of Pedro Delgado, Perico.This book reviews the history of a country that suffered a vacuum in terms of referents cyclists to which an unconventional figure arrived, a brizfing of fresh wind in sport inside a country that began to explore the modernity of the eighties.You can find it on Amazon for € 18.

    «La carrera contra la Stasi», «Ventoux» y «Desde lo alto se ve el mar». Tres novelas relacionadas con el mundo del ciclismo traducidas por la que seguramente sea la única editorial especializada en ciclismo del país («Ed. Libros en ruta«). Libros que han triunfado en sus idiomas y países respectivos y que desde esta editorial se ha apostado por traducirlos al castellano.

    Cyclotourism and bikepacking books:

    If on the contrary, you want to give a book more oriented to training in cycling or cycling, I would recommend the following:

    Cyclist - Ride: The Greatest Cycling Routes in the World [English]: This book explores 50 of the world's large road cycling routes, explained by experts from one of the most important magazines in the world of cycling.With an impressive photograph, maps of each route and first -hand observations, this book invites you to travel to any cycling fan.

    The best routes in the world by bicycle (Lonely Planet): a newly published illustrated guide, for now only in English, that reviews the great routes of the world.50 routes for 30 different countries that take us from the Mongolian plains to the Pacific coast of the United States.A large format guide with hard tapas and care design for cycling lovers and several days routes.It can be found for € 26 on Amazon.

    Magnum Cycling [English]: The famous Magnum photography agency has compiled from her archive of the most important moments of cycling.Legends, emotions and human suffering are captured in this cycling book.The photographs of the Tour de France, competitions in velodrome or solo training have been taken by photographers as iconic as Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Capa, Guy Le Querrec or Harry Gruyaert.Essential for cycling and photography lovers.

    Mountains: Epic Cycling Climbs [English]: The mountains of Europe have become pilgrimage places for cyclists around the world.This book is designed to encourage and inspire anyone to conquer those mythical ports at least once in their life.

    Secret ascents.50 new ports that you should discover (Daniel Friebe and Pete Goding): from the same authors of the descatalogado "mythical ascents" comes another book in which they discover places that compete equally in beauty and hardness.With most ports spread across the European continent it is a good book to plan trips to enjoy our bicycle.Available in specialized bookstores in adventure sports (slope type) and in Amazon for € 22.

    Spain by bicycle (Sergio Fernández Tolosa): In this guide the author mimates all the details to plan a cycling route and proposes 101 cycling routes to discover Spain.

    Bikepacking?Cyclotourism?If these words sound to you, you are already thinking of making a bicycle routes of several days.Either camping in nature itself or going to shelters and hostels, these two guides (in English) will tell you all the secrets to enjoy without problems those adventures on two wheels.

    Cycling training book:

    Train and run with potentiometer (Hunter Allen and Andrew Coggan) [2013]: the potentiometers and the famous "watts" have become an essential tool for any triathlete.In this book with excellent reviews deepens the keys to training with potentiometer in cycling.It can be found on Amazon for € 41 and much less in electronic format (€ 9).

    «Training and Racing with A Power Ampa» [2019]: It is an updated third edition of the previous book that was published in 2019 of the same previous author that includes new metrics (FRC, PMAX, MFTP, Power DURATION CURVE,…), New Planstraining depending on the FTP and more recent study cases.It can be found at the moment only in English and at a rather lower price (€ 23 on Amazon) than the translated version.

    Pedaladas under ceiling (Chema Arguedas Lozano): A book full of tables to perform gap by pulse and power, very useful for short time cyclists.Unlike the previous ones, this book recommends buying it in paper format (from € 19) so that the tables are seen correctly.

    This book is written by one of the most prolific authors and with better criticism in terms of books aimed at planning a cyclist's training, whether from BTT.The last one ("enhances your pedaling") is a basic manual for anyone who wants to train by power.

    Cycling and performance (Yago Mayor): A somewhat old book, does not touch the issue of power in cycling, but explains in a very didactic way the basic principles of cycling training for performance improvement.You can find it on Amazon for € 14.25.

    Cyclist's Training Bible: The World's Most Comprehensive Training Guide.Trainingpeaks (little more to say).It can be purchased for € 26 at Amazon (in English).

    A broad list with numerous accessories, clothing and accessories, cycling literature, ... but above all, many ideas that can inspire you when looking for the perfect gift for both a cyclist and for those who already park the bicycle but continuebeing great cycling fans (even from the couch).I hope that some of these ideas (or those of the first part of this guide of cycling gifts) serve you and finally surprise the one who receives that gift related to the world of bike.If in addition to practicing cycling, he is also passionate about the world of running, you may want to take a look at this list of original gifts for runners.Thanks for reading me and until the next article.
