Christmas gifts for cyclists

Gifts that end up on the bike, not in a drawer. Sorted by budget, so you find something in two minutes.

Looking for a Christmas gift for a cyclist? That is hard, because riders are picky about their gear and usually own the big things already. What they never have enough of is a good way to carry their stuff. That is what we make: cases and bags that keep a phone, keys, tools and snacks safe and in place, developed in the Netherlands by riders.

Below you'll find our gift ideas in three budgets. If you want to browse everything yourself, go to all products.

This guide is written by Maikel, founder of The Pack and a rider himself. Last updated on 11 November 2026.

Our picks at a glance

In a hurry? These are the six gifts we recommend most, with what you need to know to choose.

Gifts under €25

The safest gift for any rider is the Essentials Case, from €20.99. It is the product The Pack started with: a water-resistant case of 19 by 8 centimetres that fits in a jersey pocket. Inside there is a phone compartment, a pocket for coins and keys, a card slot and a main pouch for a spare inner tube, tyre levers and a multi-tool. No more freezer bags, and no more keys scratching a phone.

It works on every bike and with every jersey, so you do not need to know what the rider owns. It comes in several colours, which makes it easy to match a bike or a kit.

Also in this budget:

the Saddle Bag Tool Roll, from €19.99, for riders who keep their tools under the saddle.

Gifts from €25 to €50

With a bit more budget you can give a bag that goes on the bike itself.

The Snack Bag handlebar bag, from €39.99, is a small bag on the handlebar for a phone, wallet, inner tubes and food. Ideal for long rides and coffee stops, and it comes in several colours.
The Phone Case, from €29.99, protects a phone against rain and sweat with a waterproof zip. It comes in two sizes.
The AWG Saddle Bag, from €27.99, belongs to our All Weather Gear line and keeps spares dry under the saddle.
The Eco Choice handlebar bag, from €25.99, is a handlebar bag with a small manufacturing deviation that we sell at a special price instead of throwing it away. Fully functional, and worth mentioning when you give it. It comes without a shoulder strap.
The Snack Bag top tube bag, from €34.99, sits on the top tube, so food is within reach while riding.

Not sure which one? A handlebar bag is the gift most riders do not buy for themselves and then use on every ride.

Gifts of €50 and more

For the rider who goes out in any weather, or who is planning a bikepacking trip, look at the AWG collection. AWG stands for All Weather Gear: waterproof materials, taped seams and a waterproof reflective zipper. Rain, mud and dust stay outside, and the bags are easy to clean.

The AWG Handlebar Bag, from €64.99, is the 2.5-litre bag for long days in any weather, with a separate compartment for a phone.
The AWG Frame Bag, from €54.99, uses the space inside the frame for tools, food and spares.

Together they keep everything for a long day out dry.

Which gift for which rider?

A few quick rules if you do not ride yourself:

Road cyclists carry as little as possible. Give an Essentials Case or a Phone Case: both go in a jersey pocket.
Gravel riders and tourers like to bring food and an extra layer. A handlebar bag is the best choice.
Bikepackers and commuters ride in all weather. Choose something from the AWG line.
You have no idea what they ride? Take the Essentials Case. It fits every rider.

Bags attach with straps and do not depend on the brand of the bike. Only for a frame bag does it help to know the bike, because frames differ in size.

Frequently asked questions

What is a good gift for a cyclist who already has everything?

Something that gets used on every ride. The Essentials Case keeps a phone, keys, cards and tools together in a jersey pocket, and works for every rider and every bike.

Will the gift arrive on time?

Orders within the Netherlands and Belgium usually arrive the next working day, Germany takes two to three working days and the rest of the EU two to five. For Christmas, order at least a week ahead to be sure.

Does the bag fit their bike?

Handlebar, saddle and top tube bags attach with straps and fit almost every bike. For a frame bag it helps to know the bike, because the space inside a frame differs.

Does their phone fit in the case?

The Essentials Case is designed so that large smartphones fit as well. The Phone Case comes in two sizes, for large and smaller smartphones; check the sizes on the product page before you choose.
