The best gifts for cyclists in 2023

Other than a bike, helmet and a few emergency maintenance essentials, there aren't many things a person needs to enjoy a bike ride outside. But having the right accessories can go a long way towards making the experience more fun, more safe and, ultimately, more rewarding. The list of recommendations below cover the gamut of things you can give to the cyclist in your life, from must-have safety accessories like bike lights, to more techie gadgets like bike computers. However, each represents an item the staff here at Engadget have personally tested or swear by, and would make for a great holiday gift. It's an inevitable fact of cycling: at some point, something will go wrong or a part will need adjustment during a ride at the worst possible moment.
