Looking for unique holiday gift ideas for your favorite cycling couple? I suppose because tandem bicycle riding is a specialized niche, that explains why it's not so easy to find tandem themed items we would love. Some of the best gift ideas I've found are on websites like
eBay and
Etsy where creative individuals market their own creations.
Here are my favorite gift giving suggestions for tandem bicycle enthusiasts. Many of these items are things I couldn't pass up, and we've actually bought them for ourselves.
1.) Matching Jerseys -- to be worn while riding.
2.) Bicyle Glasses ~ the kind you drink from, not the kind you wear. These are nice sturdy 16 oz. size, four to a pack.
3.) Tandem /Cycling Jewelry -- I purchased this fun necklace on eBay for myself this year!
Tandem Bike Pendant - stainless steel cyclist charm. There is also a sweet selection of jewelry, pins, necklaces, and earrings and a big variety of tandem related gifts on
BicycleGifts.com.
4.) Bi Polar Bears T-Shirt -- to be worn anytime!
5.) Tandem Bicycle Christmas Tree Ornaments
And... My idea for great for
stocking stuffers for any cyclist would be sports nutrition items such as
GU Energy Gel (Mocha is my favorite! hint-hint!) and CLIF SHOT BLOKS Energy Chews which are semi-solid, easy-to-chew sources of
carbohydrates and
electrolytes -- the body's preferred source of fuel during activity.
