Many of these will be great gifts regardless of the bike type or ride style, making it easy to find something that will be a big hit.

Bike security is one of those things riders often overlook, which makes a brake disc lock like the Abus Granit a fantastic holiday gift. It’s a sturdy, compact unit that carries easily and it has built-in motion detectors that sound an alarm if someone tries to move the bike. High-quality steel construction and a special X-Plus cylinder design mean this is one tough lock to break or pick.

Riders may have all the tools they need in the garage, but that doesn’t mean they don’t appreciate a well-stocked travel tool bag.

This pack has a mini T-handle and sockets, needle-nose pliers, a tire gauge, zip-ties, and more.

A smartphone can be a big help on the road, but it does no good if it’s tucked away in a pocket or luggage. A solid handlebar mount, like the Scosche MagicMount Pro, allows a rider to keep a phone visible and accessible and is a great addition to any rider’s stock of accessories. This unit fits a wide range of handlebar sizes and is compatible with a broad variety of smartphones. Neodymium magnets help to keep the phone securely in place while riding, and the durable aluminum base keeps the mount safely positioned.
