Christmas is fast approaching and it's time to buy presents for your friends and family. Fortunately, Rainette, disguised as Santa's elf, has come to the rescue. In this article, you'll find a non-exhaustive list of the best gifts to give a professional or amateur cyclist. We're off!
1- Bike handlebar smartphone holder
The Smartphone Holder is certainly one of the best gifts you can find for a cyclist. With this gift, your friend won't have to stop to take out his phone while running around town or on a ride.
Thanks to this Smartphone holder, the lucky recipient will be able to open his GPS to follow a route, make calls or check the weather without any worries. Be sure to accompany this gift with sound advice to keep the cyclist alert and focused on the road.
Our friends over at Shapeheart have come up with the wonderful idea of creating a protective magnetic phone pouch to attach to your bike!
Ultra-efficient and easy to install, there's no need to wipe your fingers on the scarf to type an address into the GPS. What's more, different sizes are available to fit all types of cell phone!

2- Customized bike rack
Do you know a cyclist who's always cluttering up the corridor with his bike, or who doesn't know where to put his trusty steed? Give them a bike rack! A bike rack can be fixed anywhere in the house, clearing up clutter.
3- Complete cleaning kit
Water, mud, dead leaves and bicycles don't mix well over the long term. So it's important to clean and maintain your bike regularly. The main parts to look after? The chain, wheels and brake pads.
Treat a cyclist to a complete bike cleaning kit for Christmas. The kit will contain the essential products for easy, regular bike maintenance, such as bike cleaner, degreasing spray, microfiber sponge, cleaning brushes... A wonderful Christmas gift!
4- Cycling shoes
Cycling shoes create a better connection between cyclist and bike, via the pedals. The aim is to transmit the effort made with as little loss as possible, while ensuring a certain level of comfort. There are several models of cycling shoes: insoles adapted to automatic pedals, classic insoles... Of course, to offer cycling shoes to a cyclist, you need to know his or her shoe size. But we agree that this difficulty can be overcome.
5- Aero Bars
Aero Bars are undoubtedly the perfect tool to help a cyclist ride even faster and further. For very little effort, the Aero Bars make riding easy and epic. These large, generously padded armrests offer comfort too. An excellent Christmas gift for bike racing enthusiasts!
6- Socks
A classic gift, but no less interesting: socks. However, it's important to choose socks that are soft and comfortable on the feet. And if they can be original, even better!
7- Jacket
Giving a jacket as a Christmas present to a cyclist is an excellent idea. For races or rides in winter, a jacket keeps you warm and protects you from the cold. Whether you're cheering on other riders or taking an evening stroll, a jacket is essential to keep you on track.
8- Reflective laces for sneakers
Reflective laces made from transparent glass microbeads reflect light back into the night when illuminated! In addition to ensuring cyclist visibility, Rainette sneaker laces customize sneakers for a healthy dose of style. Would you like to give a really wow-factor gift this Christmas? Rainette laces are just what you need.
9- Waterproof bag
Ideal for carrying everyday items, the waterproof pannier is certainly the right accessory for any cycling enthusiast. And with good reason: it keeps things dry and is very easy to carry. A must-have gift for the holiday season!
10- Reflective sleeves for bicycles
To control their trajectory, especially in winter, cyclists need to protect their hands and keep them warm. Indeed, it's difficult to ride with fingers frozen by the cold. To please your loved one this Christmas, give them Rainette reflective sleeves for bicycles! Not only do they correct the problem of Mister Freeze fingertips, but their reflective properties also make your friend visible on the road.
11- Reflective stickers
Reflective stickers bring a touch of whimsy to cyclists, making them visible at all times. Waterproof and UV-resistant, Rainette stickers are also easy to install. So you can give a helmet or a bike decorated with stickers to your loved ones who love cycling.
12- Reflective wheel reflectors
Make your friend visible on the roads by giving him or her reflective spokes for bicycle wheels this Christmas! These original reflectors are available in a range of colors: multicolored, gold, green, silver and charcoal gray. The choice is yours.
