Update 12/2/24, as of right now, these deals are mostly hanging on strong. A few have sold out, though, so we'll be checking stock often.
I’m a huge fan of stocking up on cycling gear when prices fall, especially right around Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Whether you ride every day, most days, or only occasionally, some items are always handy to have—and that also make thoughtful gifts.
Take it from me: Cyclists are rather easy to buy because they always need more stuff. From specialized apparel to lightweight tools and other accessories, biking just gets better when you have the right gear.
So what are some of the easiest and hassle-free items to purchase this holiday season? For starters, anything that doesn’t require sizing like a bike pump that are included here.
If you know the size of the person you're shopping for, a new helmet or jacket is always appreciated. Above all, keep this in mind when shopping: Cyclists like gifts that will keep them on their bikes, whether that’s a rain jacket, water bottle, or chamois shorts.
For these Cyber Monday recommendations, I picked a mix of well-known and lesser-known brands in various price points for cycling pursuits this winter season and beyond.
If you’re not a REI Co-op member, you can get a lifetime membership for a one-time fee of $30 at check-out or at https://www.rei.com/membership/join.
Items are always going on and off sale during the stretch leading up to Cyber Monday. Rest assured, these are the most recently updated sales and deals. You can always double-check your cart at checkout to make sure you’re getting your savings.
Last words of shopping advice: If you think you’ve found the jacket or sunglasses you love the most, buy it when you see it. Inventories at retailers can change at a moment's notice.
The Expert: I’ve made a lifelong career of testing and writing about new products in the outdoor world contributing to publications including SKI, Freeskier, Men’s Health, Sunset, Gear Junkie, 5280, Elevation Outdoors, Runner's World, Bicycling, and more. I’ve been racing bikes on dirt and road for 20-plus years. When I’m not hammering away on my computer, you can find me hammering out miles on the gravel trails surrounding my home in the Pike’s Peak region of Colorado.

For pavement or gravel, this REI-branded Co-Op Cycles Adv 2.3 all-road adventure bike is ready. It rolls on 700c wheels (standard road bike size), comes stock with a dropper seat post for gnarly terrain, and runs a reliable 11-gear Shimano GRX groupo. Currently, it’s about $1,000 off retail.
Avid cyclists regularly travel long distances to find the next best trail. If that's you, then transporting your bike is a key part to this. This upright bike mount secures your bike on top of your vehicle as you travel long distances. This model makes sure that your mount never touches the frame, so the paint job stay intact.
One of the most versatile and incognito pieces to own—or gift—is this black merino wool blended t-shirt from Smartwool. Ideal for multi-day tours, it’s a base layer not only for cycling, but any active pursuit with its wicking and antimicrobial properties.
These turn any shorts into cycling shorts. For women who want to ride in a chamois-padded bike short but maybe have other favorite shorts or skirts they prefer to wear, this pair is a great option. This is a gift that adds versatility and comfort to a cyclist’s wardrobe.
I love the simple color scheme and full coverage of these Fox gloves. Even though they're billed as mountain bike gloves, I actually wear gloves like this for gravel and road as well. There’s no substitute for a full fingered, padded glove like this, and it’s a massive bonus to have conductivity pads for swiping and tapping on three fingers, not just the index.
Here’s a chance to grab a highly functional and lightweight jersey for any kind of cool weather riding or inclement weather. This jersey is made with TruDri® fabric, which moves sweat away from your body as you're in motion.
Stylish and versatile, this women’s cold-weather cycling jacket can be used for biking, but the apparel crosses over for Nordic skiing, too. I use the men's version for both. This softshell jacket is windproof with a fleecy (brushed) interior, reflective hits for added safety, and a large jersey-style rear pocket for snacks.
Every cyclist needs a floor pump, maybe even two, and at this price you can grab one for yourself and someone on your gift list. This pump is simple, but features a high pressure design that inflates up to 160 PSI (even road tires don’t go much above 100 these days), and has the integrated dual head to fit on both valve types (Presta and Schrader).
Really, you can’t have too many tools, and this one is a perfect stocking stuffer. Light, durable, and compact, it will handle most issues out on the road. Especially with a name like Cannondale, this is a gift idea that’s sure to go quickly.
For a simple accessory or as a gift, bags are always in style. Rugged and roomy, this one has water-resistant material to ward off tire spray and repel light drizzle. It holds your bike lock, tools, snacks, and more, plus a compression strap minimizes bounce on bumpy trails.
Style and comfort come together in this Smartwool long-sleeve shirt that gives you freedom to move along with peace of mind that you can be out for an all-day mountain bike adventure with coverage from the sun. This light pewter blue color is pretty fantastic, too.
