Cyclist holidays have their own rules. You won't find socks under the Christmas tree (unless the socks are made of windbreaker), perfume (unless they smell of grease), or a book (unless it's a catalog of new components). A cyclist has only one dream: This year, Santa Claus won't be riding in a sleigh, but rather on a gravel bike. Because, as we all know, it's easier to get through the snows of the north on thick tires. So what can you put under the Christmas tree to not only make him happy, but also avoid suspicions of training sabotage? The water bottle – because the previous one had already been lost in the laundry three times, and once it even betrayed its owner by going on a trip with someone else. Leather gloves? No. Quest gloves? YES. They're the difference between elegance and a 120-kilometer winter loop. These Latte gloves are breaking records. A bike light – preferably one that blinds even the memory of dusk. Cycling socks —because those are the only socks a cyclist treats as sacred. Preferably these white Aero socks from Quest called Do It. A multitool is like a Boy Scout's pocket knife, but for an adult who claims to be able to fix anything... as long as it's in 6mm Allen format. And if you don't know what to choose, you can be sure of one thing: Any gift that reduces the weight of the bike or increases the weight of the cyclist's ego will be a hit. After all, the holidays are a time of magic. And is there anything more magical than the sight of a cyclist unpacking a new pair of carbon pedals and looking like Santa just showed them the Stelvio shortcut?
