Gifts for cyclists under £200 — magnificent main Christmas present suggestions for the cyclist in your life

For those die-hard cycling fans who just love all things bike-related, this handmade backpack crafted from recycled bike inner tubes would make a thoughtful gift. This neat pack aims to be fully waterproof and 100% vegan, crafted as a limited edition item by an independent Italian business committed to sustainability. 

The envelope-style bag is designed with practicality in mind, with a durable-looking handle along the top and straps made from recycled seatbelts. Meanwhile, the padded back panel is constructed from truck tarpaulin liner and the front has a Velcro closure system.

The 20L pack has a large main compartment, along with a large zip-up internal pocket to fit a 15” laptop, and a smaller zip pouch for valuables. Maker mnmur says the backpack is “designed for everyday use and built to last”, it’d certainly make a stylish addition to any cyclist’s commuting gear.

A smart watch could just be one of the most useful gadgets out there for the cyclist in your life - this one comes with a twist though. The Garmin Vivomove Sport has that classic analogue style, with the addition of hidden smart features literally at your fingertips - two taps will do it. 

Kitted out with a smart screen tucked away behind a sleek, minimalist design that's accessed by a simple tap or flick of the wrist, the Sport accurately tracks wellness data including heart rate, blood oxygen, steps, sleep tracking and stress/energy levels, which all combine to provide a holistic view of the user’s daily wellbeing. 

There’s four different colour options and a variety of straps to choose from, so you can customise the watch according to the personal preference and style of who you're gifting it to.

Now normally we wouldn’t recommend cycling while blasting the tunes, but these Shokz OpenRun Pro headphones allow you to do both without compromising on safety or sound quality. 

The Shokz present the ultimate gift for safe music listening on the go, and that’s all down to in-built bone conduction technology, which uses vibrations to convey sound waves and leaves the ears free to take in surrounding noises. 

Don’t worry, we’ve tried and tested these under a helmet and in the pouring rain, and found them easy and safe to use in all but the windiest conditions.

A bike computer like this nippy and compact Bryton Rider 420E is arguably one of the most useful navigation aids around, especially for the cyclist in your life who loves to explore new places and crunch the numbers over a well-deserved post-ride cuppa - you know the type. 

The 420E cuts through the chaff of other overly complex systems and presents a straightforward and easy-to-handle device. A simple set-up provides options for customising data screens, along with ANT+/Bluetooth compatibility for linking up with other riding tech. 

Breadcrumb navigation is supplemented by turn-by-turn instructions, while battery life impressed our tester at a staggering 35h of use. The 420E makes for an expensive-looking gift with an affordable price tag, keeping all parties happy.

More than ever, this year has seen countless bikes go missing left, right, and centre from airlines, with little help given to track down often highly valuable cargo - both on a monetary and sentimental level. 

This is where the Apple AirTag comes in. It’s so lightweight and unassuming that you can easily mount and hide it on your bike, with a battery reliable enough to last until you can be reunited. It works by using the iPhones around it to identify location, and has a "lost" setting which provides regular updates on whereabouts. 

Cyclists who like to travel with their trusty steed to far flung places would do well to put these tags on their wish list. In testing, we found them to be one of the most affordable and effective tracking solutions, if you can really put a price on peace of mind.

Shoes Sunglasses are a cyclist's best friend making them the perfect gift for the cyclist in your life. A decent pair of cycling glasses need to be durable and comfortable, and of course, they need to look the business too!

These 100% Eastcraft glasses come with two lenses - a gold mirror lens for some panache, and a clear lens for low light conditions. They are up to 100%'s usual high standards, and have a hydrophobic and oleophobic treatment to repel water and oil - indeed they don't pick up fingerprints easily.

Overall, the Eastcrafts are comfortable for long durations, durable, and the design is functional both on and off the bike.
