These Valentine’s Day Gifts Will Make That Special Cyclist’s Heart Race (2024)

The Revive is an active rest-day shoe that’s equal parts Merrell Hydro Moc and Croc Clog, but with an outsole that makes it wearable out and about as much as at home. Its ultra-squishy midsole provides comfort, and after a long day of cycling, that bounciness is what’s needed for rest.

PlanetBox’s Rover steel lunch box is a solid gift for the neat freak who loves to keep their stuff organized. This clamshell box is a lightweight material that can withstand a few bumps and drops, and it has five compartments to neatly pack food into. It’s the ideal packable book-sized box for a lunchtime ride or a romantic picnic.

Roka’s polarized sunglasses are attractive, lightweight, and, most importantly, non-slip. Each arm has grip pads to keep the glasses put while your Valentine is out cycling. The CP-1x is one of our favorites for its full coverage against the sun.

Waterproof your lover’s dome with a Gore-Tex cycling cap. It’s tough, reflective, lightweight, packable, and, most of all, keeps the rain away from that pretty little face. This cap fits underneath a helmet and can help prevent sweat from dripping into eyes, and it makes a good cover for helmet hair during a stop for a post-ride bite.

Swiftwick makes some of the best socks for cycling. Ultra-thin and compressive, the Aspire Seven is one of our favorites. And because it’s stain-, mildew-, and perspiration-resistant, it’s great at preventing those dogs from stinking. That also means less chance of chafing or blisters over long rides.

This doob tube is water-, smell-, and crush-proof for keeping that stash safe. It’s also, wildly, a refillable flint lighter, so your giftee won’t have to worry about forgetting to pack theirs. A key ring seals the deal—it can clip onto carabiners, belt loops, and bags for the most practical EDC. If your Valentine likes to smoke after a ride, this is a great, inexpensive pick.

I know I said bike tchotchkes can be lame, but every cyclist needs a bike-related pint glass. And sometimes, a love of beer also means a love of bikes, or vice versa. This couple of pint glasses lets your Valentine celebrate both.

This lumbar-supportive hip pack can take a beating, whether on a hike, the trail, or diving downhill on a mountain bike. Its 6-liter capacity is big enough for a slew of snacks and an emergency poncho. Plus, two pockets for water bottles ensure they won’t go thirsty. Grab this in red to stay on-theme.

The M19 multitool is a bulletproof gift for any cyclist, period. It’s ready for any screw or chain you throw it at, plus it’s slim enough to comfortably pocket. Best of all, it has a lifetime warranty for future-proofing that safety.

No one likes a sweaty saddle. Give the gift of a fresh bum with a portable travel bidet. It’s lightweight and easy to pack and squeeze, plus has a non-slip grip and a retractable head. Just don’t mix it up with a regular water bottle.

Typically known for its sand-resistant towels, Nomadix recently released a limited-edition robe. This small-batch product is made of micro terrycloth and perfect for recovery days, hanging out, and lazy post-shower loafing. It also has a hood for extra coziness.

This 13-liter bag is big enough to hold your commuter’s lifestyle, on or off their bike. It’s made with tough ripstop fabric to prevent tears, plus its water-resistant coating protects its exterior from rain and its interior from any bottle spillage. Grab it in green, navy, or black.

If your Valentine often finds inspiration on their rides, this gives them a way to jot down and record their thoughts (in a please, physical way a phone can’t provide). This three-pack of Field Notes is enough to support 144 pages of thoughts, whether they like sketching what they see on their rides or they find themselves journaling on the daily.

Hater, lover, frequent snacker, whoever—if they’re vegan (or even if they’re not), they’ll dig these oat bars from Bobo’s. This 12-pack has four chocolate chip, four coconut, and four original bars to deliver the sugar, carbs, and energy they need to fuel that next ride. They’re also gluten-free.

Park Tool, the ubiquitous bike tools brand, has one of the best niche gift-able products: the PZT-2 Pizza Tool. This bicycle-shaped pizza slicer is sharp, practical, and ergonomic for a nice slicing grip. And it’s dishwasher-safe.

If your Valentine loves avocados, grab some of this topping. The seasoning is a killer hack that gives avocado a kick with chili peppers, sesame seeds, and sea salt, making that next bikepacking trip a little more spicy.
