Cycling gloves
Gloves, yes gloves are an important and easily overlooked part of a cyclist's outfit. What some beginner cyclists may not know is that hand comfort plays a crucial role in riding enjoyment. Gloves serve many purposes, most importantly they protect your hands in case of a crash. They can also add warmth, wind resistance and offer some padding. These Evoc gloves are airy, feature touchscreen compatible fingertips, and the smooth palm resists bunching up.

Crank Brothers Pica Mini tool
Mini tools (or multi tools) are small, easily packable tools that cyclists carry with them in case a repair or adjustment is needed while out riding. They vary in capability, but the Crank Bros Pica features common allen keys, Torx heads, a Phillips screwdriver and a chain tool for repairing a chain. If your gift saves your beginner cyclist from having to walk home or call in a rescue pick up they'll be grateful forever!
