Cyclists are a weird bunch — with riders identifying with more niches and subcultures than seem possible, or frankly necessary, deciding what to get for the beloved bicyclist in your life this festive season can be a truly bewildering experience for the uninitiated.

Mercifully, BikeRadar is here to lend a helping hand with our handy selection of Christmas gift guides. In this edition, we look through a selection of smaller gifts that will appeal to beginner and fully indoctrinated cyclists alike.
Backcountry Research Race Strap

An enduro bike wouldn’t be an enduro bike without a customary inner tube taped to the front triangle of the frame, and while a length of dazzling electrical tape will suffice for some, the true racing nerd in your life will undoubtedly appreciate one of these gnar-proof Race Straps from Backcountry Research.
The Race Strap is available in a variety of sizes, from the commodious Mutherload which is designed to take a beefy, 29er tube and a selection of tools down to the weight-weenie friendly, roadie oriented Camrat. We’re particular fans of the tartan-toned race strap.
Claimed to hold your gear “with the tenacity of a honey badger while swaddling your setup like a loving mother” (the brand's amusing about us page is well worth a read), Backcountry Research really believes in the products it produces, relying solely on word of mouth since it was founded in 2008.
